Abstract
The Paderborn University BSP (PUB) library is a parallel
C library based on the BSP model.
The basic library supports buffered and unbuffered asynchronous
communication between any pair of processors, and a mechanism for
synchronizing the processors in a barrier style.
In addition, it provides routines for collective communication
on arbitrary subsets of processors, partition operations,
and a zero-cost synchronization mechanism.
Furthermore, some techniques used in the implementation of the
PUB library deviate significantly from the techniques used
in other BSP libraries.
