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.
