MPI Software Technology Releases
ChaMPIon/Pro 1.0
MPI Software Technology, Inc., a leading provider of high performance
middleware products and related services, has announced the release of
ChaMPIon/Pro for RedHat Linux.
First Commercial MPI-2.1 product for Linux, Best Message Passing Interface
Technology:
ChaMPIon/Pro 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 networks with Myrinet and InfiniBand support coming soon. It
includes MercutIO, our high performance portable MPI-IO implementation,
currently supporting UFS, NFS, and PVFS. 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 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 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.
