Now I get it. Marshalling - the process of taking a collection of data items and assembling them into a form suitable for transmission in a message Unmarshalling - is the process of disassembling them on arrival into an equivalent representation at the destination

Otherwise, it is not clear to him or others exactly what you are asking, because there are multiple possible meanings for those terms. -Paul On Sun, Nov 4, 2012 at 7:56 PM, Santhosh Kokala <santhosh.kok...@riverbed.com<mailto:santhosh.kok...@riverbed.com>> wrote: I wanted to know how does OpenMPI achieve marshaling and unmarshalling?

Just want to ensure we are talking the same language as I don't immediately see the relationship between these three questions.

If so does it use ideal style language? If not how does it support heterogenous hosts?
