[an error occurred while processing this directive] Message-passing programming is essential to distributed memory parallel systems. Communication libraries provide pre-built functionalities of inter-process communication (IPC) within a processor or across the network. Most non-propriatary communication libraries are built on top of UNIX RPC (remote procedure call) to access lower level TCP and UDP layers of services. Search SAL:
