Detailed Description

This section describes the public API provided by the MOC-library.

If some things remain unclear, consult the official MPI-standard (Version 1.3).

This library uses Direct Memory Access (DMA) provided by the Cell Broadband Engine. So the use of other DMA operations than provided of this library is discouraged, because it may interfere with this library. One exceptions are signals. We don't use signals at all at the moment, so one can savely use signal.

Modules

Environmental Management

This chapter discusses routines for getting and, where appropriate, setting various parameters that relate to the MPI implementation and the execution environment (such as error handling, startup&shutdown and Time).

Point-to-Point Communication

Sending and receiving of messages by processes is the basic MPI communication mechanism.

Collective Communication

Communication that involves a group of processes.

Direct Memory Access

Functions which use DMA to transfer Data.

Groups, Context and Communicators

The MOC communicator specifies a group of processes inside which a communication occurs.
