Popis: We describe some of the features of Express and the way that they were developed as a response to the needs of application programmers. We show how currently emerging computing platforms have led to new application needs and show how these are satisfied with Express features. We introduce a recently developed programming style which greatly simplifies programming as well as directly addressing complex issues such as dynamic load balancing and fault tolerance. Finally, we present a comparison of Express' features and motivation to the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard currently being developed.
