iRCCE: A Non-blocking Communication Extension to the RCCE Communication Library
The RCCE communication library by Intel offers a customized message-passing interface for programming the Intel Single-Chip Cloud Computer (SCC) by means of a simplified application programming interface (API).
This message-passing environment, that is in turn based on a simpler one-sided communication mechanism, offers two-sided but blocking (often also referred to as synchronous) point-to-point communication functions as well as a set of collective communication operations.
However, the lack of non-blocking point-to-point communication capabilities within the current RCCE library has driven us to extend RCCE by such asynchronous message-passing functions.
Furthermore, we have also improved the performance of some RCCE functions, as for example the blocking send and receive operations and we have added wildcard features.
In order not to interfere with the current RCCE library and its future updates, we have placed our extensions into an additional auxiliary library with a separated namespace called iRCCE.
