네트워크 응용 프로그램을 개발하기 위해서는 Socket API를 많이 이용한다. Socket API를 이용해 정상적인 동작을 하는 것은 아주 쉽다. 실제 개발 과정에서 정상적인 상황이 아닌 여러 가지 비정상적인 오류에 처하게 됨에 따라 속수무책일 때가 많다. 따라서 각 플랫폼별로 비정상적인 오류들의 사례를 연구를 통하여 효율적인 응용시스템 개발의 필요성이 대두되었다.

Cluster systems employ high speed interconnection networks and use efficient communication layers to gain high performance and scalability. But the diversity in implementation mechanism among these communication layers causes lack of portability. A solution is to provide communication standard APIs such as MPI. This paper introduces MPI-VMMC: an MPI implementation on VMMC. Though the direct deposit transfer mechanism used in VMMC is not suitable for Send/Recv mechanism used in MPI, the proposed sub-layer laid between MPI and VMMC efficiently translates from one mechanism to the other. We also use the lazy pointer and selective zero-copy transfer technique to gain high performance. The peak performance of MPI-VMMC is 90.7Mbytes/sec, which is about 95% of the base communication layer\`s.
