Casper is a process-based asynchronous progress model for MPI one-sided 
communication. It allows the user to keep aside a small number of cores 
on a multicore or many-core environment as "ghost processes," which are 
dedicated to help asynchronous progress for user processes through 
appropriate memory mapping from those user processes. Casper is designed 
as an external library through the PMPI name-shifted profiling interface 
of MPI, it can transparently link with most MPI implementation that 
supports MPI-3.0 RMA features.
