MPICH21.4.1p1

MPICH2 is a Message Passing Interface (MPI) implementation that provides the components, runtimes and the tools developers require in order to compile and run applications that rely on this standard.

Powerful programming package for MPI programs

The MPI protocol is used in parallel computer programming, with practical use in creating portable message-passing applications in the Fortran and C programming languages. MPICH2 is compatible with MPI-1, MPI-2 and MPI-3, allowing one-sided communication and dynamic process management.The package includes an extensive modular framework that works together with all the other components in order to enable developers to compile and run MPI applications.

Easily compile and execute MPI programs

MPICH2 must be installed on each workstation you want to launch MPI programs on. It bundles libraries and components required for the compiling process, along with executables for the process management utilities.The process manager is a console program that can also be run as a Windows service in order to allow any user to launch compiled MPI programs. The 'MPIEXEC wrapper' provides an interface for running MPI applications, with options for setting the number of processes to run in parallel.The configuration tool enables you to acquire information about hosts in your domain and modifying functioning parameters.

Advanced MPI implementation aimed at experienced programmers

MPICH2 helps developers work with the MPI standard, providing a powerful programming package. It supports various computation platforms and requires advanced knowledge of C and Fortran in order to unlock its full potential.
