Note that ASIO has no mechanism to communicate across box (this is what MPI does), ASIO handles asynchronous communication within a box.
Really? This is news to me... Has ASIO changed after inclusion into Boost? I used it to implement a prototype distributed computing system...
Or maybe I misunderstand "within/across a box".
Oh, I'm probably wrong. I understood ASIO to provide asychronous IO but now that I look more closely at the documentation, I see this. Portable networking, including sockets, timers, hostname resolution and socket iostreams. So it appears you could implement MPI on top of ASIO. My bad. -- Noel
