(MSTI MSTI Main Science and Technology Indicators MSTI Miniature Sensor Technology Integration MSTI Miniature Seeker Technology Integration MSTI Mike Scioscia's Tragic Illness (blog) MSTI Miniature Space Technology Investigation ) announces the official release of MPI/Pro Version 1.6.3. MPI/Pro supports all 128 functions included in the MPI (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. ) Standard, as defined by the MPI Forum (www.mpi-forum.com). MPI defines how data is transferred among multiple processors all working together on related programs. MPI is useful when running computationally intensive applications such as CFD CFD - Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation, weather modeling, financial modeling, seismic exploration, and protein folding. Current users of MPI/Pro include Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Michigan State University Michigan State University, at East Lansing; land-grant and state supported; coeducational; chartered 1855. It opened in 1857 as Michigan Agricultural College, the first state agricultural college. , Massachusetts Institute of Technology Massachusetts Institute of Technology, at Cambridge; coeducational; chartered 1861, opened 1865 in Boston, moved 1916. It has long been recognized as an outstanding technological institute and its Sloan School of Management has notable programs in business, , Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, National Institute of Standards and Technology National Institute of Standards and Technology, governmental agency within the U.S. Dept. of Commerce with the mission of "working with industry to develop and apply technology, measurements, and standards" in the national interest. , Sandia National Laboratories Sandia National Laboratories, which is managed and operated by the Sandia Corporation (a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corporation), is a major United States Department of Energy research and development national laboratory with two locations, one in Albuquerque, New , and Pratt and Whitney.

TCP ensures that all data arrive accurately and 100% intact at the other end. and VIA (Giganet only) networks and PowerPC, x86, and Alpha processors. MPI/Pro Version 1.6.3 for Windows NT/2000 runs on TCP and VIA (both Servernet II and Giganet) for x86 systems. Pre-release versions of MPI/Pro Version 1.6.3 supporting Myrinet and Solaris are now available. Scyld support, including BProc, is also available in pre-release form. MPI/Pro Version 1.6.3 also runs on Mercury Race systems. Solaris and VxWorks front-end support for Mercury systems is now in beta. Solaris host support, as well as NT front-end support, will be available in the near future. MPI/Pro for Linux and Windows TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. is available on MSTI's company web site as a free, unsupported download (www.mpi-softtech.com).
