Charm++ parallel programming system

["Naresh_Hanumanthakari" <Naresh_Hanumanthakari AT satyam.com>]

Hello there,
 
I have some queries. Kindly help.
                
1. Suppose we are running our server application as follows:
 
./charmrun +p2 ./server ++local ++server-port 1300
 
Now, if we run two clients each of them as  ./client 192.168.1.1 1300
 
Is the server able to handle this two clients parallely (as two processors 
are running the server, can each of them handle a different client?)
 
2. Are we able to write networking application (say client-server program) 
using Charm++ without the help of Converse?
 
3. If Converse is separate from Charm++, why are we compiling a Converse 
application under Charm++ environment (using CHARMC)? Moreover, if Converse 
is not a language then why do we need to specify as 
- language converse++ for compiling our application?
 
4. Is Converse simply like MPI from functional perspectives?
 
5. Where do we find the clear distinction between Converse and Charm++?
 
6. Consider the following client code segment:
 
   for(i=0;i<CcsNumPes(&svr);i++)
      {
          char *senddata="HELO";
           CcsSendRequest(&svr,"Handler",i,strlen(senddata)+1,senddata);

  I want to know how it work internally if we specify +p3 while running this 
client.
