Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Date: 15 Sep 1997 21:22:51 GMT Message-ID: <5vk8vb$d00$2@vixen.cso.uiuc.edu> When executing MPI on a machine with primary and secondary cache (e.g. SGI Origin2000, CRAY T3E), does MPI read/write directly from/to each processor's memory, or do the messages have to go through the cache?
