MPI_Send()
and MPI_Recv()
. These functions do not return (i.e.,
they block) until the communication is finished. Whereas,
non-blocking message passing is done using MPI_Isend()
and MPI_Irecv()
. These function return immediately
even if the communication is not finished yet.MPI_Isend()
, do some computations, then do
MPI_Wait()
.Describe the difference between blocking message passing and non-blocking message passing.
Explain the difference between blocking factor and treatment factor
Write a solution to the Dining Philosophers Problem in Promela, using message passing (channels) to handle this. You must use message passing, rather than relying on "await"/blocking. Once you have your solution written, use Spin to establish that for reasonable number of philosophers of various sorts that it is correct (safety and fairness) and has reasonable parallel performance (by comparing it to some other policies that are simple and easy to implement)
