Abstract
A data processing system is programmed to provide a method for enabling user-level one-to-all message/messaging (OTAM) broadcast within a distributed parallel computing environment in which multiple threads of a single job execute on different processing nodes across a network. The method comprises: generating one or more messages for transmission to at least one other processing node accessible via a network, where the messages are generated by/for a first thread executing at the data processing system (first processing node) and the other processing node executes one or more second threads of a same parallel job as the first thread. An OTAM broadcast is transmitting via a host fabric interface (HFI) of the data processing system as a one-to-all broadcast on the network, whereby the messages are transmitted to a cluster of processing nodes across the network that execute threads of the same parallel job as the first thread.
