1 The Open MPI Project is an open source MPI-2 implementation
2 that is developed and maintained by a consortium of academic,
3 research, and industry partners. Open MPI is therefore able to
4 combine the expertise, technologies, and resources from all
5 across the High Performance Computing community in order to
6 build the best MPI library available. Open MPI offers advantages
7 for system and software vendors, application developers and
8 computer science researchers.
