Title
Communicating across parallel message-passing environments
Abstract
We present a small, extensible interface for the transparent communication between vendor-specific and standard message-passing environments. With only four new commands, existing parallel applications can make use of our PLUS communication interface, thereby allowing inter-process communication with other programming environments. Much effort has been spent in optimizing the communication speed across Internet and Intranet links. Our current implementation supports process communication between PVM, MPI, and PARIX. With only marginal additional effort, the interface can be adapted to support other message-passing environments as well.
