BSPlib

Abstract

BSPlib is an alternative to MPI and PVM, and is based on the Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) model of parallel computation. It is already being used by a rapidly growing community of software developers in universities and in industry. It supports SPMD parallelism based on efficient one-sided communications. The core library (excluding collective communications) consists of just 20 primitives. The Oxford BSP toolset includes profiling tools and implementations of BSPlib for many different machines.
