What’s in This Version
HP-MPI is a high-performance implementation of the Message Passing Interface standard.
HP-MPI complies fully with the MPI-1.2 standard and provides full MPI-2 functionality.
HP-MPI provides an application programming interface and software libraries to support
parallel, message-passing applications that are efficient, portable, and flexible.
HP-MPI is available as both archive and shared libraries. Use of shared libraries is
recommended. In order to use shared libraries, HP-MPI must be installed on all machines in
the same directory or accessible via shared file system.
NOTE The directory location for HP-MPI for HP-UX is /opt/mpi (and there is a
symbolic soft-link named /opt/hpmpi that points explicitly to /opt/mpi).
