Services performing a simple, one-way transfer operation between two programs. Like other one-way messaging models, message passing generally leaves the sending program unblocked. Also, as with all forms of messaging, message passing is usually connectionless, which means that the sending application does not have to explicitly establish and manage a connection with the message's intended recipient. Although message passing is not inherently a two-way communication model, two-way communication can be accomplished by sending the response in a separate message.
A method for processes running in parallel to interact with one another.
In a microkernel, the way that servers pass requests and information between each other.
The method of communication among processor nodes operating in parallel with distributed memory.
A type of programming in which program modules (often running on different processors or different hosts) communicate with each other by means of system library calls that package, transmit, and receive data.
communication by using the programming primitives send and receive
A form of interprocessor communication. See the HPCinfo message-passing page for more details.
Refers to the process by which parallel tasks explicitly exchange program data.
A parallel programming style in which explicit messages (containing a user-defined, integer message type and data) are sent between tasks.
A style of interprocess communication in which processes send discrete messages to one another. Some computer architectures are called message-passing architectures because they support this model in hardware, although message passing has often been used to construct operating systems and network software for uniprocessors and distributed computers.
Style of parallel programming for distributed memory systems in which non-local data that is required explicitly must be transported to the processor(s) that need(s) it by appropriate send and receive messages.
A communication paradigm in which processes communicate by exchanging messages via communication channels.
In computer science, message passing is a form of communication used in concurrent programming, parallel programming, object-oriented programming, and interprocess communication. Communication is made by the sending of messages to recipients. Forms of messages include function invocation, signals, and data packets.
