Note: comp.parallel.mpi is broken here... :-(

How does MPI do communication between processes on a single processor 
workstation?

I want to use MPI in my application so that if I decide to support
multiprocessor environments there will be little modification
required, but I know that sockets have too much over head for a
single-processor environment (I'd need a few hundred sockets in this
application). 

Thanks!
John
