Pastorale (short story)
“Pastorale” is a short story written by James M. Cain and published in March, 1928 by editor H. L. Mencken in The American Mercury. Written in the Ring Lardner style, the tale is told in a first-person narrative, delivered in the dialect of a resident of rural America. Both the point-of-view and the use of colloquial dialect for his protagonists, fully established in “Pastorale”, would be applied in many of Cain’s novels.

Cain’s first published short story, "Pastorale” is distinguished from his earlier dialogues and sketches he had produced for The American Mercury since 1924. The story describes a gruesome small-town murder of an elderly married man by two local men, one of whom wishes to marry his young wife.

Biographer Roy Hoopes considers this early work “an extremely important event in Cain’s evolution as a writer of fiction…”

The American Mercury
The American Mercury was an American magazine published from 1924 to 1981. It was founded as the brainchild of H. L. Mencken and drama critic George Jean Nathan. The magazine featured writing by some of the most important writers in the United States through the 1920s and 1930s.

After a change in ownership in the 1940s, the magazine attracted conservative writers, including William F. Buckley. A second change in ownership in the 1950s turned the magazine into a far-right and  antisemitic publication.

It was published monthly in New York City. The magazine went out of business in 1981, having spent the last 25 years of its existence in decline and controversy.

Two-tree broadcast
The two-tree broadcast (abbreviated 2tree-broadcast or 23-broadcast) is an algorithm that implements a broadcast communication pattern on a distributed system using message passing.
A broadcast is a commonly used collective operation that sends data from one processor to all other processors.
The two-tree broadcast communicates concurrently over two binary trees that span all processors. This achieves full usage of the bandwidth in the full-duplex communication model while having a startup latency logarithmic in the number of partaking processors.
The algorithm can also be adapted to perform a reduction or prefix sum.

Broadcast (parallel pattern)
Broadcast is a collective communication primitive in parallel programming to distribute programming instructions or data to nodes in a cluster. It is the reverse operation of reduction. The broadcast operation is widely used in parallel algorithms, such as matrix-vector multiplication, Gaussian elimination and shortest paths.

The Message Passing Interface implements broadcast in MPI_Bcast.
