Open MPI - General information
OPEN MPI
--------
Open MPI is an open source implementation of MPI (message-passing
interface), the industry-standard specification for writing
message-passing programs. Message passing is a programming model that
gives the programmer explicit control over interprocess communication.
The MPI specification was developed by the MPI Forum, a group of
software developers, computer vendors, academics, and computer-science
researchers whose goal was to develop a standard for writing
message-passing programs that would be efficient, flexible, and
portable.
The outcome, known as the MPI Standard, was first published in 1993; its
most recent version (MPI-4.0) was published in June 2021. Open MPI
includes all MPI |mpi_standard_version|-compliant routines.
For more information about Open MPI, see https://www.open-mpi.org.
The MPI standards are available at https://www.mpi-forum.org.
MAN PAGE SYNTAX
---------------
Man pages for Open MPI and Open MPI I/O routines are named according to
C syntax, that is, they begin with the prefix ``MPI_``, all in
uppercase, and the first letter following the ``MPI_`` prefix is also
uppercase. The rest of the letters in the routine are all lowercase, for
example, :ref:`MPI_Comm_get_attr`.
ENVIRONMENT
-----------
To fine-tune your Open MPI environment, you can either use arguments
to the :ref:`mpirun <man1-mpirun>` or :ref:`mpiexec <man1-mpiexec>`
commands, or you can use MCA parameters.
For more information on arguments, see the :ref:`mpirun(1)
<man1-mpirun>` man page.
For a complete listing of MCA parameters and their descriptions, issue
the command ``ompi_info --all``. See :ref:`ompi_info(1)
<man1-ompi_info>` for more information.
ERRORS
------
See :ref:`MPI_Errors` for details about error values.
