Available Packages
Name : pmix

Summary : Process Management Interface Exascale (PMIx)
URL : https://pmix.org/
License : BSD
Description : The Process Management Interface (PMI) has been used for quite some time as
: a means of exchanging wireup information needed for interprocess
: communication. Two versions (PMI-1 and PMI-2) have been released as part of
: the MPICH effort. While PMI-2 demonstrates better scaling properties than its
: PMI-1 predecessor, attaining rapid launch and wireup of the roughly 1M
: processes executing across 100k nodes expected for exascale operations remains
: challenging.
:
: PMI Exascale (PMIx) represents an attempt to resolve these questions by
: providing an extended version of the PMI standard specifically designed to
: support clusters up to and including exascale sizes. The overall objective of
: the project is not to branch the existing pseudo-standard definitions - in
: fact, PMIx fully supports both of the existing PMI-1 and PMI-2 APIs - but
: rather to (a) augment and extend those APIs to eliminate some current
: restrictions that impact scalability, and (b) provide a reference
: implementation of the PMI-server that demonstrates the desired level of
: scalability.
