“…Like MRNet, Ygdrasil [3] and Lilith [11] are tree-based communication infrastructures for scalable tools. Ygdrasil, derived from the communication infrastructure used in the Ladebug parallel debugger [4], uses a tree of aggregator nodes to apply user-specified, Java-based plugins to in-flight data.…”

The increasing availability of high-performance computing systems with thousands, tens of thousands, and even hundreds of thousands of computational nodes is driving the demand for programming models and infrastructures that allow effective use of such large-scale environments. Tree-based Overlay Networks (TBŌNs) have proven to provide such a model for distributed tools like performance profilers, parallel debuggers, system monitors and system administration tools.We demonstrate that the extensibility and flexibility of the TBŌN distributed computing model, along with its performance characteristics, make it surprisingly general, particularly for applications outside the tool domain. We describe many interesting applications and commonly-used algorithms for which TBŌNs are well-suited and provide a new (non-tool) case study, a distributed implementation of the mean-shift algorithm commonly used in computer vision to delineate arbitrarily shaped clusters in complex, multi-modal feature spaces.
