4: \label{section:homog}
5:
6: One of the aims of OpenXM is a parallel speedup by a distributed computation
7: with homogeneous servers. As the current specification of OpenXM does
8: not include communication between servers, one cannot expect
9: the maximal parallel speedup. However it is possible to execute
10: several types of distributed computation as follows.

15: computation and a competitive Gr\"obner basis computation is
16: illustrated as an example of distributed computation.
17: Such a distributed computation is also possible on OpenXM as follows:
18:
19: The client creates two servers and it requests
20: Gr\"obner basis comutations by the Buchberger algorithm the $F_4$ algorithm
21: to the servers for the same input.
22: The client watches the streams by {\tt ox\_select()}
23: and the result which is returned first is taken. Then the remaining
24: server is reset.

! 80: Such a computational model is useful for parallel implementation of

84: %partitioned into two sub-arrays and the algorithm is applied to each
85: %sub-array. In each level of recursion, two subtasks are generated
86: %and one can ask other OpenXM servers to execute them.
87: %Though it makes little contribution to the efficiency in the case of
88: %quicksort, we present an Asir program of this distributed quicksort
89: %to demonstrate that OpenXM gives an easy way to test this algorithm.

191: \subsubsection{Product of univariate polynomials}
192:
193: Shoup \cite{Shoup} showed that the product of univariate polynomials
194: with large degrees and large coefficients can be computed efficiently
195: by FFT over small finite fields and Chinese remainder theorem.
196: It can be easily parallelized:
197:
198: \begin{tabbing}
199: Input :\= $f_1, f_2 \in {\bf Z}[x]$ such that $deg(f_1), deg(f_2) < 2^M$\\
200: Output : $f = f_1f_2$ \\
201: $P \leftarrow$ \= $\{m_1,\cdots,m_N\}$ where $m_i$ is an odd prime, \\
202: \> $2^{M+1}|m_i-1$ and $m=\prod m_i $ is sufficiently large. \\
203: Separate $P$ into disjoint subsets $P_1, \cdots, P_L$.\\
204: for \= $j=1$ to $L$ $M_j \leftarrow \prod_{m_i\in P_j} m_i$\\
205: Compute $F_j$ such that $F_j \equiv f_1f_2 \bmod M_j$\\
206: \> and $F_j \equiv 0 \bmod m/M_j$ in parallel.\\
207: \> (The product is computed by FFT.)\\
208: return $\phi_m(\sum F_j)$\\
209: (For $a \in {\bf Z}$, $\phi_m(a) \in (-m/2,m/2)$ and $\phi_m(a)\equiv a \bmod m$)
210: \end{tabbing}
211:
212: Figure \ref{speedup}
213: shows the speedup factor under the above distributed computation
214: on Risa/Asir. For each $n$, two polynomials of degree $n$
215: with 3000bit coefficients are generated and the product is computed.
216: The machine is FUJITSU AP3000,
217: a cluster of Sun workstations connected with a high speed network
218: and MPI over the network is used to implement OpenXM.

222: \caption{Speedup factor}
223: \label{speedup}
224: \end{figure}
225:
226: If the number of servers is $L$ and the inputs are fixed, then the cost to
227: compute $F_j$ in parallel is $O(1/L)$, whereas the cost
228: to send and receive polynomials is $O(L)$ if {\tt ox\_push\_cmo()} and
229: {\tt ox\_pop\_cmo()} are repeatedly applied on the client.
230: Therefore the speedup is limited and the upper bound of
231: the speedup factor depends on the ratio of
232: the computational cost and the communication cost for each unit operation.
233: Figure \ref{speedup} shows that
234: the speedup is satisfactory if the degree is large and $L$
235: is not large, say, up to 10 under the above environment.
236: If OpenXM provides collective operations for broadcast and reduction
237: such as {\tt MPI\_Bcast} and {\tt MPI\_Reduce} respectively, the cost of
238: sending $f_1$, $f_2$ and gathering $F_j$ may be reduced to $O(\log_2L)$
239: and we can expect better results in such a case. In order to implement
240: such operations we need new specifications for inter-sever communication
241: and the session management, which will be proposed as OpenXM-RFC 102.
242: We note that preliminary experiments show the collective operations
243: work well on OpenXM.
