MPICH is a high-performance and widely portable implementation of the
|
|
|
|
|
Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard (MPI-1, MPI-2 and MPI-3).

The goals of MPICH are:
|
|
|
|
|
(1) to provide an MPI implementation that efficiently supports different
|
|
|
|
|
computation and communication platforms including commodity clusters
|
|
|
|
|
(desktop systems, shared-memory systems, multicore architectures),
|
|
|
|
|
high-speed networks (10 Gigabit Ethernet, InfiniBand, Myrinet, Quadrics)
|
|
|
|
|
and proprietary high-end computing systems (Blue Gene, Cray) and
|
|
|
|
|
(2) to enable cutting-edge research in MPI through an easy-to-extend
|
|
|
|
|
modular framework for other derived implementations.
