"there are some algorithms and applications for which developing shared, coherent state and operating on that state is best done with fine-grained messaging, perhaps augmented with some state mechanism."
What are some examples of this? The ones I'm thinking of are dynamics codes: fluid dynamics, molecular dynamics, and so on. These are typically spatial with strong short-range interaction and weak/no long-range interaction. Are those valid examples, and what are other classes of solutions where fine-grained communications is more appropriate?
