Push-Pull Messaging is a novel messaging mechanism for high-speed interprocess communication in a cluster of symmetric multi-processors (SMP) machines. This messaging mechanism exploits the parallelism in SMP nodes by allowing the execution of communication stages of a messaging event on different processors to achieve maximum performance. Some optimizing techniques were implemented along with ...

In this paper, we study PUSH-PULL style rumor spreading algorithms in the mobile telephone model, a variant of the classical telephone model in which each node can participate in at most one connection per round; i.e., you can no longer have multiple nodes pull information from the same source in a single round. Our model also includes two new parameterized generalizations: (1) the network topo...
