ABSTRACT:
In a multi-processor parallel processing computer environment different communication modes are available for performing an information distribution operation (e.g., a broadcast) between processors. The technique comprises automatically selecting an optimal communications mode at operation run-time. The selection decision utilizes hardware parameters of the system (e.g., communication speed between processors) and run-time parameters (e.g., number of nodes to broadcast a message to). The communication mode selection decision seeks to optimize factors such as time required to execute or work space requirements of the distribution operation.
