[[I'm posting this for my friend Brian who doesn't have convenient access to the outside world. Please send replies directly to him. He'll summarize back to the group. Thanks! Casey]] I'm looking for a portable (BSD socket based) IPC subroutine package which will allow me to send a stream of data to multiple processes (possibly on different machines). Ultimately these data streams need to support multiple readers and writers. I know I can directly do this with sockets, however the resulting programs that use a hand coded implementation using sockets would be ugly. The key is to have a subroutine interace that is nearly as simple as open, read, write, and close for multiplexed distributed communication. Thanks in advance, Brian Cabral cabral@lll-crg.llnl.gov
