MPI communication question

[waterborne]

I am having trouble finding a way to implement communication between processes using MPI. I have a cube split up into sub-cubes and each process is in charge of calculations over a certain subset of these sub-cubes. Inside the sub-cubes are particles that are moved around during the simulation. My question is this:

How can I implement a communication routine so that if a particle moves outside a process' subset of sub-cubes it will send the data of that particle to another process.

The send part is easy, my trouble is I don't know how to get the other process to receive the data. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am writing my own IPC system ATM. Has more to do with needing fewer dependencies in a variety of environments than anything specifically wrong with the existing libs.

I don't understand what you said. Is that a comment or advice? This isn't a question on which function I should use but more of a best approach to this problem. Right now my solution is to have all processes communicate after each calculation; however, this is extremely inefficient.

I think "One-Sided Communications" is what you're looking for.
