Abstract
A system, method and computer program product synchronize a plurality of processes of one or more applications executed by a plurality of processors. In addition to the processors, the system includes a plurality of memories with each memory associated with a respective process and configured to maintain a local count representative of a message of the respective process with which the memory is associated and at least one remote count representative of a message of a corresponding process executed by another processor. The system also includes a reflector configured to reflect the local count of the respective process to a remote count of the corresponding process. For synchronization, a first process of a first application executed by a first processor is configured to enter a delay period if the local count and at least one remote count maintained by the memory associated with the first process fail to match.
