Talk:Message-Passing Interface

Environment
I would like to see more about what  does and how one might use a cluster from an application running on a desktop computer. —BenFrantzDale 18:50, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Function semantics
I get the sense that, in a sense, some of the functions apply to the entire state of the cluster rather than to a particular node. For example, from what I can tell  sends data from one node to others, so while the name implies "sending", most callers actually wind up recieving. In that way  means "Hey you, MPI cluster, when you guys get to this point one of you is going to send stuff to all the others of you." Is this accurate? Could this article be changed to reflect that? —BenFrantzDale 18:50, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
