Command Transfer Protocol (CTP) For Distributed or Parallel Computation

John, Rajiv Sharma

Abstract: Distribution of user-defined toolboxes and rapid prototyping of many coarse-grained parallel applications can now be done with a single easy-to-use command. The implementation is made available as a suite of three toolboxes, collectively described as mGrid, with client, master and worker implementations. Commands Transfer Protocol (CTP) is a new protocol and API for computational clusters. It meant as a replacement for both TCP and for MPI, PVM, and other high performance computing (HPC) APIs. CTP is a transport level API and thus replaces TCP. We are using CTP for distributed or parallel computation for file transfer
