Open MPI is therefore able to combine the experise, +technologies, and resources from all across the High Performance +Computing community in order to build the best MPI library available. +Open MPI offers advantages for system and software vendors, application +developers and computer science researchers. + +Open MPI represents the merger between three well-known MPI +implementations: + * FT-MPI from the University of Tennessee + * LA-MPI from Los Alamos National Laboratory + * LAM/MPI from Indiana University +with contributions from the PACX-MPI team at the University of +Stuttgart. These four institutions comprise the founding members of the +Open MPI development team. Each of these MPI implementations excelled +in one or more areas. The driving motivation behind Open MPI is to +bring the best ideas and technologies from the individual projects and +create one world-class open source MPI implementation that excels in all +areas. |
