Impi Making Mpi Interoperable

The Message Passing Interface (MPI) is the de facto standard for writing parallel scientific applications in the message passing programming paradigm. Implementations of MPI were not designed to interoperate (ITO), thereby limiting the environments in which parallel jobs could be run. This report describes a set of protocols that enable 2 or more implemen. of MPI to ITO within a single app'n. Introduces the set of protocols called Interoperable MPI (IMPI). These protocols make use of novel techniques to handle difficult require. such as maintaining ITO among all IMPI implementations while also allowing for the independent evolution of the collective communication algorithms used in IMPI.George, William L. is the author of 'Impi Making Mpi Interoperable', published 2000 under ISBN 9780756718268 and ISBN 0756718260.
