MPL - Parallel Message Passing Library

abstract

MPL is a subroutine library from IBM for writing distributed memory programs,
in C or Fortran, for RISC System/6000 clusters or the IBM SP. MPL programs
running on the IBM SP can send messages over the IBM High Performance
Switch, a fast interconnect that provides uniform communication time between
all nodes in the system. MPL provides routines for message passing,
management of tasks and task groups, and collective communications. It
enforces the SPMD (single program multiple data) scalable programming
model. MPL programs can run with the pdbx debugger, the vt performance
visualization tool, and the program marker array.
