Charm++ parallel programming system

[Eric Bohm <ebohm AT uiuc.edu>]

Charm++ is built on top of Converse.  Charm++ operates on objects, 
sending or receiving messages between them, scheduling their execution, 
or migrating them.  Converse operates on  processors  (or nodes) by 
sending or receiving messages between them.  Charm++ uses Converse as a 
portability layer to handle cross processor communication.


Converse is a separate API from Charm++.  It is rarely used directly by 
anyone other than the developers of Charm++ because most application 
developers prefer the richer Charm++ interface.


Converse runs within separate processes, usually 1 for each processor, 
with multiple extremely light weight user level threads  and/or objects 
within each process.
