Description :
OpenMPI is an implementation of the Message Passing Interface, a
standardized API typically used for parallel and/or distributed
computing. OpenMPI is the merged result of four prior implementations
where the team found for them to excel in one or more areas,
such as latency or throughput.
OpenMPI also includes an implementation of the OpenSHMEM parallel

one-sided communication techniques.

Module Component Architecture (MCA) base and plugins necessary for
running Open MPI/OpenSHMEM jobs.
