The Open MPI Project is an open source MPI-2 implementation that is
|
||
|
|
developed and maintained by a consortium of academic, research, and
|
||
|
|
industry partners. Open MPI is therefore able to combine the experise,
|
||
|
|
technologies, and resources from all across the High Performance
|
||
|
|
Computing community in order to build the best MPI library available.
|
||
|
|
Open MPI offers advantages for system and software vendors, application
|
||
|
|
developers and computer science researchers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Open MPI represents the merger between three well-known MPI
|
||
|
|
implementations:
|
||
|
|
* FT-MPI from the University of Tennessee
|
||
|
|
* LA-MPI from Los Alamos National Laboratory
|
||
|
|
* LAM/MPI from Indiana University
|
||
|
|
with contributions from the PACX-MPI team at the University of
|
||
|
|
Stuttgart. These four institutions comprise the founding members of the
|
||
|
|
Open MPI development team. Each of these MPI implementations excelled
|
||
|
|
in one or more areas. The driving motivation behind Open MPI is to
|
||
|
|
bring the best ideas and technologies from the individual projects and
|
||
|
|
create one world-class open source MPI implementation that excels in all
|
||
|
|
areas.
