Summary : A high-performance implementation of MPI
URL : https://www.mpich.org/
License : MIT
Description : MPICH is a high-performance and widely portable implementation of the Message
: Passing Interface (MPI) standard (MPI-1, MPI-2 and MPI-3). The goals of MPICH
: are: (1) to provide an MPI implementation that efficiently supports different
: computation and communication platforms including commodity clusters (desktop
: systems, shared-memory systems, multicore architectures), high-speed networks
: (10 Gigabit Ethernet, InfiniBand, Myrinet, Quadrics) and proprietary high-end
: computing systems (Blue Gene, Cray) and (2) to enable cutting-edge research in
: MPI through an easy-to-extend modular framework for other derived
: implementations.
:
: The mpich binaries in this RPM packages were configured to use the default
: process manager (Hydra) using the default device (ch3). The ch3 device
: was configured with support for the nemesis channel that allows for
: shared-memory and TCP/IP sockets based communication.
:
: This build also include support for using the 'module environment' to select
: which MPI implementation to use when multiple implementations are installed.
: If you want MPICH support to be automatically loaded, you need to install the
: mpich-autoload package.
