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 expertise, 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
