Message Passing between different machines
Posted: Sat Nov 26, 2005 12:00 am
Hi!
I want to use message passing with mailboxes between processes running not on the same machine.
Message Passing uses functions msgsnd() and msgrcv() to send and receive messages.
Implementing on same machine between parent and child process doesn't seem to be a big problem, but what can i do if the processes producer and consumer run on different machines?
Is it possible to solve this problem using sockets or do i need a message passing system (MPI) then with other functions than msgsnd() and msgrcv()?
How to pass messages to processe's mailbox on other machine?
regards,
floatT
