Abstract
Provided is a system and method for directing group communication in a system environment that has a plurality of discrete application nodes networked with at least one discrete memory node, establishing a shared memory providing a passive message queue. A code library permits an application node member of a group to assemble a message selected from the group of send, join, leave, or read. The send, join and leave messages permit a first application node to add a message to the queue for all members of a group including the first application node at the time the message was added. The instruction set permitting the addition of the message is executed atomically.
