Abstract
A significant number of modern multiple-processor computer systems belong to the class of multicomputers. This type of system is characterized by distributed memory organization, i.e., an arbitrary processor cannot directly access the address space of another processor. In order to implement interprocessor communication, an approach is currently being adopted which consists in receiving and passing messages between computational nodes via a communication network.
