Hughes Aircraft Co. has implemented MPI for Mercury RACE
systems [18]. RACE MPI is derived from MPICH. There are a
few interesting features of this implementation that are worth noting.
- On SHARC systems, where a ``byte'' (defined by ANSI C to be the
size of a char) is 32 bits, not 8 bits,
this implementation exposed a portability problem for MPI codes.
- The MPICH library has been modified to conserve as much space as possible.
Only needed routines are linked, argument checking and strings are omitted.
- Several collective operations have been optimized to use shared memory.
