NAME

     BSPlib level  1 -  Collective  communications  and  language
     specific libraries for BSPlib.

DESCRIPTION

     The core bsplib(3) library provides a  low  level  mechanism
     for  managining  communication  within  the Bulk Synchronous
     Parallel model. In contrast, the BSPlib level 1 library pro-
     vides  language specific operations, and a variety of speci-
     alised collective communications. These are  not  considered
     as  part of the core library, as they can be easily realised
     in terms of the core. The level 1 library is  summarised  in
     the  table below. Manual pages are available for each of the
     operations.
