GASNet-EX is a portable, open-source, high-performance communication library designed to efficiently support the networking requirements of PGAS runtime systems and other alternative models in emerging exascale systems. It provides network-independent, high-performance communication primitives including Remote Memory Access (RMA) and Active Messages (AM). GASNet-EX is an evolution of the popular GASNet communication system, building upon over 20 years of lessons learned, and the primary goals are high performance, interface portability, and expressiveness. The library has been used to implement parallel programming models and libraries such as UPC, UPC++, Fortran coarrays, Legion, Chapel, and many others. This anthology collects together the four separate volumes that currently comprise the GASNet-EX specification, as of the 2024.5.0 release of GASNet-EX.
