The Message Passing Interface Forum (MPIF), with participation from over 40 organizations, has been meeting since January 1993 to discuss and define a set of library interface standards for message passing. MPIF is not sanctioned or supported by any official standards organization. This is a draft of what will become the Final Report, Version 1.0, of the Message Passing Interface Forum. This document contains all the technical features proposed for the interface. MPIF invites comments on the technical content of MPI, as well as on the editorial presentation in the document. Comments received before January 15, 1994 will be considered in producing the final draft of Version 1.0 of the Message Passing Interface Specification. The goal of the Message Passing Interface, simply stated, is to develop a widely used standard for writing message-passing programs. As such the interface should establishing a practical, portable, efficient, and flexible standard for message passing. (C)1993 University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee.

Draft paper to be presented at WoTUG/OUG 17 conference at Bristol, Easter 1994. ABSTRACT: The occam programming language provides a natural and concise syntax for specifying compositions of processes. occam has many advantages: it has primitive constructs supporting concurrency, it lends itself to distributed execution, it has a strong formal basis and it supports secure programming. occam is an excellent language for embedded systems and high-performance computing. To date however, the only mature occam compilers are for the transputer processor and this has restricted the exploitation of the language. This paper describes a compilation system which allows occam programs to be supported on industry-standard platforms, as typified by the Unix work-station. Compilation is achieved by translating occam source into C and then using native C compilers to generate the target code. This approach allows a portable occam compilation system to be produced and allows back-end optimization to be performed by the C compiler in a manner optimized to the target processor. The implementation of an occam-to-C translator is not a trivial task since occam supports many features that have no direct equivalent in C. These features include concurrency, nested procedure definitions and a static variable chain. 2nd March 1994 /parallel/journals/Wiley/trcom/ Updated Transputer Communications area /parallel/journals/Wiley/trcom/latex-styles/ LaTeX style files and example papers for Transputer Communications. /parallel/journals/Wiley/trcom/latex-styles/epsfig.sty EPSF - Encapsulated PostScript format style file for LaTeX.
