4. Point to point communication: the message passing pattern

The fundamental basis of coordination between independent processes is point-to-point communication between processes through the communication links in the MPI.COMM_WORLD. The form of communication is called message passing, where one process sends data to another one, who in turn must receive it from the sender. This is illustrated as follows:
