MPICH2

Last modified: Wednesday, April 19, 2006

MPICH2 is an implementation of the Message Passing Interface (MPI). The goals of MPICH2 are to provide an MPI implementation for important platforms, including clusters, SMPs and massively parallel processors. It also provides a tool for MPI implementation research and for developing new and better parallel programming environments. MPICH2 replaces MPICH1. [Source: MPICH2 Web page]

MPICH2 User's Guide Version 1.0.3 (PDF)
If you have been using MPICH 1.2.x (1.2.6 is the latest version), you will find a number of things about MPICH2 that are different (and hopefully better in every case.) Your MPI application programs need not change, of course, but a number of things about how you run them will be different.

The Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard
Includes standards, tools, and comparisons with other message-passing systems.
