Abstract
One-sided Communications is one of the extensions to MPI set out in the MPI-2 standard. We present here a thread-based imple- mentation of One-sided Communications written for WMPI, an existing Windows implementation of MPI written at the Universidade de Coim- bra. This is a major step towards WMPI incorporating the MPI-2 stan- dard, with the further benefit of contributing to the thread safety of WMPI. We discuss the main design decisions associated with the im- plementation and consider further research work required in this area to improve both the existing implementation and to assess other implemen- tations of One-sided Communications.
