The MPI Forum is pleased to announce the completion of MPI-2, a set of
extensions to the Message Passing Interface standard.  Official
information about MPI, including the new standard, can be found on the
MPI Forum home page, located at http://www.mpi-forum.org. This page
will also serve as the official location for corrections and future
official MPI documents.

The MPI-2 document describes two new versions of the standard: MPI-1.2
and MPI-2.0.  MPI-1.2 contains clarifications and corrections to
MPI-1.1. MPI-2.0 adds to MPI-1.2 substantial new functionality,
including process creation and management, one-sided communications,
extended collective operations, external interfaces, I/O, language
bindings for C++ and Fortran 90, and miscellaneous topics.

Other information available on the MPI Forum home page includes the
MPI Journal of Development, previous MPI documents, errata, and
contact information.
