MPI Software Technology, Inc. Releases MPI/Pro for InfiniBand Support for RedHat Linux 7.2 and 7.3.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers STARKVILLE, Miss.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 18, 2003 MPI MPI - Message Passing Interface Software Technology, Inc. (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 ), a leading provider of high performance middleware products and related services, announces release of MPI/Pro(R) for InfiniBand(R) for RedHat(R) Linux. With the support of the InfiniBand interconnect, MPI/Pro offers enhanced scalability, robustness, and performance, for Beowulf and Grid clusters. About MPI/Pro MPI/Pro provides high performance message passing middleware for parallel computing with InfiniBand and other interconnects. The software improves performance of clusters running applications such as CFD CFD - Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation, weather modeling, financial modeling, seismic exploration, and protein folding. MPI/Pro for InfiniBand delivers supercomputing performance, robustness, and standards compliance. MPI/Pro supports the MPI-1.2 standard. MPI/Pro for InfiniBand: MPI/Pro for InfiniBand offers the customer unprecedented performance. With over 800 Mbytes/sec bandwidth and 8.7 microsecond latency, MPI/Pro for InfiniBand performs above any other MPI implementation for InfiniBand. Thread safety and other production-oriented features are offered with overlapping of communication and computation support for large transfers. MPI/Pro regularly beats freeware implementations by an average of 20-30% in performance on real applications, using low-overhead mode. MPI/Pro supports the Mellanox VAPI VAPI Visual Approach Path Indicator VAPI Virtual Application Programming Interface VAPI Virus-scanning Application Programming Interface VAPI Virtual Api platforms used by TopSpin Communications, Infiniswitch, JNI (Java Native Interface) A programming interface (API) in Sun's Java Virtual Machine used for calling native platform elements such as GUI routines. RNI (Raw Native Interface) is the JNI counterpart in Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine. JNI - Java Native Interface , InfiniCon Systems, and others. MPI/Pro support for other Mellanox partners is planned. "MPI/Pro on Mellanox 10Gbps (4x) InfiniBand-enabled systems provides x86 cluster users with the same professional environment that previously only supercomputer users, paying huge premiums, could once enjoy," said Dana Krelle, Vice President of Marketing for Mellanox Technologies, Inc. "The performance, robustness, and user-level delivered bandwidth of 6.4Gbps deliver a level of price and performance unmatched by other HPCC HPCC - High Performance Computing and Communications solutions. We look forward to continuing to work with MPI Software Technology in expanding the solution to Itanium, Power, SPARC (Scalable Performance ARChitecture) A family of RISC CPUs from Sun that runs mostly under Sun's Solaris, but also under Linux and BSD operating systems. After development began in the mid-1980s by David Patterson of the University of California at Berkeley and Bill , and Opteron-based systems." MSTI's MPI/Pro is the first commercial MPI product designed specifically for InfiniBand technology. "As one of the leading developers of commercial grade MPI middleware, MSTI has long recognized the benefits that InfiniBand has to offer the HPC (Handheld PC) A palmtop computer that weighs less than one pound and runs specialized versions of popular applications. Microsoft coined the term for its Windows CE operating system, which is an abbreviated version of Windows. See Pocket PC. market," said Jennifer Skjellum, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of MSTI. "The price and performance advantages of InfiniBand address several critical needs among our customer base and, working in partnership with several Infiniband providers, have created a version of MPI/Pro that enables HPC users to quickly and easily migrate their applications to InfiniBand fabrics. The MPI/Pro architecture is optimized to deliver exceptional performance on InfiniBand, with robustness and support unavailable from any freeware." Pricing and Availability for MPI/Pro for InfiniBand: MPI/Pro(R) for InfiniBand(R) is currently available on Redhat(R) Linux 7.2 and 7.3 with support for other operating systems to follow.
