For distributed applications on MPP machinse, message passing performance is a critical factor in the overall speed and scalability of the application. This is particularly true when all-to-all communication between nodes is required. In this study we measured the message passing performance of our PVM implementation of an all-to-all communication method called recursive doubling. The measurements were done on an Intel Paragon, IBM SP1 and CRAY T3D. Using a model of message passing times for recursive doubling, we developed several measures that can be used to compare the message passing performance of MPP machines.
