Abstract
Data-parallel applications are usually programmed in the SPMD paradigm by using a message passing system such as MPI or PVM. However programming by using message passing primitives is still tedious and error-prone. This paper presents an abstraction of message passing programming in C++ to relieve programmers of low-level considerations. The runtime overhead introduced by the abstraction is shown to be negligible
