Abstract

Current high-performance applications development is increasing due to breakthrough advances in microprocessor and power management technologies, network speed and reliability. By this way, distributed parallel applications make use of message-passing interface and multithreaded programming libraries. Nevertheless, drawbacks in message-passing implementations limit the use of thread-safe network communication. This paper presents a thread-safe message-passing interface based on MPI Standard assuring correct message ordering and sender/receiver synchronization.
