SPPL - Stuttgart Parallel Processing Library

abstract

The Stuttgart Parallel Programming Library (SPPL) allows to use a
network of workstations as a parallel computer. SPPL offers functions to
start processes on the workstations. Intermediate results can be
exchanged through SPPL functions to send respectively to receive
messages. Computers of different vendors uses different internal
representations for the same data. These representations are
automatically transformed by SPPL as necessary using a description of
the message. SPPL collects all data, that should be sent, in a message
buffer and sends this buffer as a message. The receiver unpacks the data
automatically.
