%B Communicating Process Architectures 2012
%X Message Passing Interface (MPI) is a popular approach to
enable Single
Process, Multiple Data (SPMD) style parallel
computing, particularly in
cluster computing environments.
Communicating Process Architecture (CPA)
Networking on the
other hand, has been developed to enable channel
based
semantics across a communication mechanism in a
transparent manner.
However, in both cases the concept of a
message passing infrastructure
is fundamental. This paper
compares the performance of both of these
frameworks at a
base communication level, also discussing some of
the
similarities between the two mechanisms. From the
experiments, it can be
seen that although MPI is a more
mature technology, in many regards CPA
Networking can
perform comparably if the correct communication is used.
