NetStream, a C++ class containing services for
communicating information through a network. The services in
NetStream have been developed for running both in local
as well as in wide area networks; therefore, it provides message passing
in a manner that makes it useful for a large class of parallel programs.
The services in NetStream have been developed as a layer
on top of the MPI standard, although nothing prevents further
implementations with a different system. These services are
divided into two sub-classes, namely basic and advanced; this
makes the resulting interface appropriate both for non-specialized
persons and for experts in developing parallel programs.
