Communication Libraries

Communication libraries are used within parallel and distributed applications to communicate with other machines in the same computation. The Ibis project contains two such software projects:

The Ibis Portability Layer(IPL)

A generic, easy to use communication library for parallel and distributed applications, with explicit support for dynamic systems such as grids.

SmartSockets

An implementation of (Java) sockets which automatically takes care of any connectivity issues such as firewalls, NATs, non routed networks, multi homing, etc.
