Abstract
While the SCI services can be used directly by application programmers, higher-level message passing libraries provide a more suitable application programming interface for portable codes. This part presents projects on the design and implementation of BSD sockets, TCP/IP and the high-level message passing environments PVM and MPI—all of them optimally exploiting the fast SCI communication network.
