Sidebar: Implementations of MPI

  MPI is available on parallel computers from IBM, Meiko, Intel, Cray Research, and Ncube.

A number of public-domain MPI implementations are available and can be found at the following locations.

• Argonne National Laboratory/Mississippi State University implementation. Available by anonymous ftp at info.mcs.anl.gov/pub/mpi. This version is layered on PVM or P4 and can be run on all systems.
• Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre CHIMP implementation. Available by anonymous ftp at ftp.epcc.ed.ac.uk/pub/chimp/release/chimp.tar.Z.
• Mississippi State University UNIFY implementation. The UNIFY system provides a subset of MPI within the PVM environment, without sacrificing the PVM calls already available. Available by anonymous ftp at ftp.erc.msstate.edu/unify.
• Ohio Supercomputer Center LAM implementation. A full MPI standard implementation for LAM, a UNIX cluster computing environment. Available by anonymous ftp at tbag.osc.edu/pub/lam.
