The NMPI library shows excellent benchmarking results
NMPI is an effective and reliable implementation of the Message-Passing Interface (MPI-2) over the high speed SCI interconnect from Dolphin. In the project NICEVT uses MPICH2 - the open source implementation of MPI-2 developed by the Mathematics and Computer Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory. In the first version the MPICH-2 RDMA interface is implemented over SCI. In future versions the MPICH-2 CH3 interface will be used.
NMPI 1.0 feature tests and benchmarks may be found on the NICEVT benchmark page. Benchmarks of NMPI 1.1 on Intel Itanium 2 are also available. Other benchmarks and tests of NMPI 1.1 will be published soon.
NMPI is open source software - it is distributed under a FreeBSD like license. You may download NMPI from NICEVT's download page. Install and user guide may be found on the install page.
