MPI

• [1] Message Passing Interface forum provides the standards documents for MPI and information on the standardization process.
• [2] MPICH is a high performance and widely portable implementation of MPI standard.
• [3] Another popular MPI implementation.

See Resources for more MPI implementations.

Libraries

• [4] ScaLAPACK library is a scalable parallel implementation of LAPACK (linear algebra routines) for clusters using MPI message passing. It is considered an integral part of many Beowulf distributions.

• [5] BLACS (Basic Linear Algebra Communication Subprograms) is a portable communication layer that is used by ScaLAPACK as a linear algebra oriented message passing interface.

• [6] Global Arrays is a shared memory programming interface for distribued memory computers that provides access to distributed arrays without need for explicit cooperation.

• [7] PetSC is an extensive library for parallel solution of partial differential equations. It can bu used in such applications as computational fluid dynamics, biology and fusion, a comprehensive list of which may be found on the website.

• [8] ParMETIS is an MPI-based parallel library for partitioning unstructured graphs, meshes and for computing fill-reducing matrix orderings of sparse matrices.

• [9] ALPS project (Algorithms and Libraries for Physics Simulations) provides codes for simulation of strongly correlated quantum mechanical systems.

• [10] TYPHON is a parallel CFD solver that aims problems on unstructured grids, addressing gas dynamics.

• [11] MPI BZIP2 is a parallel implementation of bzip2 block sorting file compressor for clusters.

• [12] pyMPI project provides python bindings for MPI. It can be useful for rapid development of parallel programs.

• [13] BSP on MPI implements BSPlib library standard [14] on any computer that has MPI.

Applications

• [15] is a parallel implementation of the BLAST program for aligning biosequences.

• [16] Tachyon is a parallel ray tracer using MPI.

• [17] MPI-POV is a patch that makes Povray 3.1 raytracer a parallel program using MPI.

• [18] MPI Photonic Bands is a parallel program for computing the band structures and electromagnetic modes of periodic dielectric structures.

• [19] EGO is a parallel program for molecular dynamics simulations of biomolecules.

• [20] GROMACS is a parallel molecular dynamics program.

• [21] MEEP is a parallel finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation package.

• [22] Tessa is a three dimensional simulation program for optical systems.

• [23] CompLearn is a machine learning suite that uses domain-independent compression methods, and it supports MPI.

• [24] A parallel implementation of popular multiple sequence alignment tool ClustalW [www.ebi.ac.uk/clustalw/].

• [25] Regina is a suite of mathematical software for 3-manifold topologists.
