Message Passing Support on StarT-Voyager
No single message passing mechanism can efficiently support all types of communication that commonly occur in most parallel or distributed programs. MIT's StarT-Voyager, a hybrid message passing/shared memory parallel machine, provides four message passing mechanisms to achieve high performance...
