A Comparison of Three MPI Implementations

Authors: Vinter, Brian, Bjørndalen, John Markus

Abstract:

Various implementations of MPI are becoming available as MPI is slowly emerging as the standard API for parallel programming on most platforms. The open source implementations LAM-MPI and MPICH are the most widely used, while commercial implementations are usually tied to special hardware platforms. This paper compares these two open-source MPI-implementations to one of the commercially available implementations, MESH-MPI from MESH-Technologies. We find that the commercial implementation is significantly faster than the open-source implementations, though LAM-MPI does come out on top in some benchmarks.
