Hi. The BSP tutorial page says that BSP workflow is:
Local computation
Process communication
Barrier synchronization
While this makes sense for the bootstraping jobs, I think that describing the
workflow like this makes more sense for an already bootstrapped job:
Sync
Receive messages
Process messages
Send messages
in the sense that once all messages have been processed by a job, all it can do
is wait for new messages by syncing. So it seems to me that the start of the
cycle should not be described as local processing, but rather as waiting for
instructions. This is similar to the Actor model, where the actors are strictly
reactive, and become dormant when they do not get messages. Or, for a real
world analogy, I get to work, read my emails and other work sources, do the
work, send replies, and then go home and wait for the next day to get more
work...
Am I missing something?
