ChaMPIon/Pro 1.0 Released, MPI Software Technology, Inc.'s New MPI-2.1 Product, Offers All the Functionality Of MPI/Pro Plus MPI-2.1 Standard Capability.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers STARKVILLE, Miss.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 2, 2003 MPI MPI - Message Passing Interface Software Technology, Inc., the leading provider of high performance middleware products and related services, has announced the release of ChaMPIon/Pro(TM) for RedHat(R) Linux. First Commercial MPI-2.1 product for Linux, Best Message Passing Interface (communications, protocol) Message Passing Interface - A de facto standard for communication among the nodes running a parallel program on a distributed memory system. MPI is a library of routines that can be called from Fortran and programs. Technology: ChaMPIon/Pro(TM) is the first commercial MPI-2.1 version available for Linux. ChaMPIon/Pro is a robust, scalable, high-performance MPI-2.1 Implementation from MPI Software Technology, Inc. This implementation is to retain for the application the maximum amount of scalability possible, while also balancing performance criteria and resource utilization. ChaMPIon/Pro supports Gigabit Ethernet and SMP (Symmetric MultiProcessing) A multiprocessing architecture in which multiple CPUs, residing in one cabinet, share the same memory. SMP systems provide scalability. As business increases, additional CPUs can be added to absorb the increased transaction volume. networks with Myrinet(R) and InfiniBand(R) support coming soon. It includes MercutIO(TM), our high performance portable MPI-IO implementation, currently supporting UFS UFS Unix File System UFS Universal Fighting System (Sabertooth games) UFS United Feature Syndicate UFS Unite for Sight UFS Uncoated Free Sheet (paper grade) UFS Universal Frame System , NFS (Network File System) The file sharing protocol in a Unix network. This de facto Unix standard, which is widely known as a "distributed file system," was developed by Sun. See file sharing protocol and WebNFS. NFS - Network File System , and PVFS PVFS Post-Viral Fatigue Syndrome (UK) PVFS Parallel Virtual File System . ChaMPIon/Pro one-sided communication is implemented directly on top of the low-level communication primitives in order to achieve the maximum performance. Dynamic Process Management and "Miscellaneous Chapter" MPI-2.1 features are also supported. The product offers independent message progress in order to overlap computation, communication, and I/O. ChaMPIon/Pro supports both synchronous and asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. methods of completion notification. The implementation is thread safe and enables hybrid parallel models using message passing between cluster nodes and multi-threading for intra-node concurrency Operations that are performed simultaneously within the computer. For example, dual-core CPUs provide complete overlapping of two independent processes. See dual core, hyperthreading, multiprocessing, multitasking, multithreading, SMP and MPP. concurrency - multitasking allowing for exploitation of multi-grained parallelism. Also, a variety of efficient algorithms for collective operations are provided to deliver high performance at massive scale. The implementation is highly tunable and customizable to user requirements. Key Features: -- All the features of MPI/Pro(R), plus MPI-2.1 -- Myrinet and InfiniBand networks (forthcoming) -- UFS, NFS, and PVFS High Performance Parallel I/O support -- High performance parallel I/O -- Overlapping of computation, communication, and I/O -- Dynamic Process Management (DPM) -- 1-sided (put/get) communication API -- Extended Collective Operations -- "Miscellaneous Chapter" MPI-2.1 Support -- Support for forthcoming PERUSE performance API -- Tested against industry leading compliance and performance suites Pricing and Availability: ChaMPIon/Pro is available for Redhat(R). Linux 7.2, 7.3, and 8.0. To find out more about our products, visit our website at http://www.mpi-softtech.com or contact sales at sales@mpi-softtech.com.
