This paper presents an overview of mpi, a proposed standard message passing interface for MIMD distributed memory concurrent computers. The design of mpi has been a collective effort involving researchers in the United States and Europe from many organizations and institutions. mpi includes point

MPI (Message Passing Interface) is a specification for a standard library for message passing that was defined by the MPI Forum, a broadly based group of parallel computer vendors, library writers, and applications specialists. Multiple implementations of MPI have been developed. In this paper, we

Programming message passing systems can be tedious and error-prone, especially for the inexperienced user facing the sheer amount of available functionality in todays message passing libraries. Instead of choosing the most optimal communication function, many users tend to apply only a small set
