Having read up a bit more on ZeroMQ, I have to ask: How is this, if at all, superior to, say, MPI[1]? [1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Passing_Interface

- phintjens 16y agoSignificantly simpler, faster, and more general. MPI is like one of the patterns ZeroMQ provides (the pipeline pattern) with a lot on top. That makes it great for parallel programming, but not so great for (e.g.) data distribution (pubsub) and other forms of message queuing.
