Abstract
Coupling numerical simulations running on distant nation-wide sites becomes realistic through the introduction of high bandwidth networks. The code coupling library we experiment in this paper relies on the presence of a software DSM for locating the data in the memories of PC clusters. In this paper, we show on some experiments that a strict share of the network bandwidth between the computation nodes improves the performance even in the case where the charge of transferring the data is balanced between the computation nodes.
Part of this work has been founded by the French government under the framework of the RNRT VTHD program
