PTLib (Parallel Tools Library) Software Catalog


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.
