The Cell Messaging Layer 1.2 (Default branch) |
|
|
The Cell Messaging Layer is a communication library for clusters of Cell Broadband Engine processors. It implements a subset of the popular MPI message-passing API on the Cell's SPE processors, with one MPI rank per SPE across any number of Cells and the ability for any SPE to communicate directly with any other SPE, even across a network. The Cell Messaging Layer thereby makes programming clusters of Cell processors similar to programming clusters of conventional CPUs.

Changes:
MPI_Wtick() has been added to the API. Files have
been split into finer pieces to make the library
more space-efficient. Internal PPE-to-SPE data
transfers are now implemented in a non-blocking
manner.
