Hi,

I would like to known the relations between message passing and
classic operations.  My aim is to compare the cost of 1 message
between to distincts process a and b on a particular computer, for
example the IBM SP2, or a CM2; and the cost of a basic instruction
like "i*j" where i and j are integers. 

I'd like to have something like that:

O(message(a,b)) = k*O(i*j)

Thanks for all informations

Youssef
