[zeromq-dev] anyone try to use 0mq for BSP

[Michael Kogan]

Funny you should mention it. I did not know what MPI was, but was reading up on it when received your message. It does seem that 0mq and MPI try to solve the same problem as tools for parallelizing execution. I have not tried MPI and I am not sure what the difference is in terms of application.
