This publication documents the SGI implementation of the Message
Passing Interface (MPI).
MPI consists of a library, which contains both normal and profiling
entry points, and commands that support the MPI interface. MPI is a component
of the SGI Message Passing Toolkit (MPT).
MPT is a software package that supports parallel programming on
large systems and clusters of computer systems through a technique known
as message passing. Systems running MPI applications
must also be running Array Services software version 3.1 or later. For
more information on Array Services, see Chapter 3, “Array Services”
in the Linux Resource Administration Guide.
Related Publications and Other SourcesMaterial about MPI is available from a variety of sources. Some
of these, particularly webpages, include pointers to other resources.
Following is a grouped list of these sources.
