Book Chapter
Message‐Passing Tools
2004
Overview
This chapter briefly reviews the distributed shared‐memory and message‐passing models for network‐centric applications. It presents the advantages of message‐passing tools and their classification with respect to the application domain, programming model supported, communication model, portability, and adaptability. The chapter then describes hardware‐ and software‐based approaches to improving the performance of message‐passing tools. This is followed by an overview of existing message‐passing tools such as socket‐based message‐passing, p4, Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM), Message Passing Interface (MPI), Nexus, Madeleine, and Active Messages. The chapter then describes the design of ACS (Adaptive Communication Systems), a multi‐threaded message‐passing tool, and presents an experimental evaluation of ACS and three different message‐passing tools (p4, PVM, and MPI) with respect to primitives and application performance.
