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." }
