Programming Using the Message-Passing Paradigm
- A message passing architecture uses a set of primitives that allows processes to communicate with each other. These include the send, receive, broadcast, and barrier primitives.
- Numerous programming languages and libraries have been developed for explicit parallel programming. These differ in their view of the address space that they make available to the programmer, the degree of synchronization imposed on concurrent activities, and the multiplicity of programs.
