 version 1.2, a high performance solution for the industry standard Message Passing message passing - One of the two techniques for communicating between parallel processes (the other being shared memory).

A common use of message passing is for communication in a parallel computer. A process running on one processor may send a message to a process running on the same processor or another. The actual transmission of the message is usually handled by the run-time support of the language in which the processes are written, or by the operating system.
 Interface (MPI), and announced validation for the AMD Opteron processor platform. AMD64 with Direct Connect Architecture, combined with the technology in MPI-XF (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. MPI's advantage over older message passing libraries is that it is both portable (because MPI has been implemented for almost every distributed memory architecture) and fast (because each implementation is optimised for the hardware it-Extremely Fast), can deliver unprecedented performance for programmers who use message passing, without requiring specialized networking hardware.

"The AMD Opteron processor offers high-performance 32- and 64-bit computing, enabling more users to easily move their applications forward to parallel 64-bit computing," said Matt Oberdorfer, president and CEO, Engineered Intelligence. "By working cooperatively with groundbreaking products like the AMD Opteron processor, we continue to deliver parallel computing Solving a problem with multiple computers or computers made up of multiple processors. It is an umbrella term for a variety of architectures, including symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), clusters of SMP systems and massively parallel processors (MPPs). See SMP, MPP, pipeline processing, array processor, vector processor and hypercube. solutions that are powered by industry leaders like AMD."

"The AMD Opteron processor, along with EI's products, can offer scientific and engineering customers an excellent solution to optimize their applications," said Pat Patla, director, Server/Workstation Business Segment, AMD's Microprocessor Business Unit. "EI has innovative solutions for parallel computing, and we support a commitment to bring 64-bit support to its customers."

MPI-XF combines the utility of Message Passing Interface with powerful communication technology derived from EI's patented Connected Memory Architecture (CMA) and EXtremely Fast Compression (XFC XFC - Extendable Flow Computer
XFC - X-Band Frequency Converter
). EI's certification program, including a third-party driver development kit, ensures compatibility with hardware components and systems, and allows developers who have invested time and effort in MPI programming to gain extreme performance for their applications. MPI-XF is a fully supported, platform-independent solution and EI offers consulting services to assist customers in application migration, tuning and optimization. MPI-XF is immediately available on platforms running Microsoft Windows and Linux, with several selected UNIX systems in development, at a list price of $100 per processor.
