ChaMPIon/Pro™ 1.0 released, MPI Software Technology, Inc.’s new MPI-2.1 product, offers all the functionality of MPI/Pro® plus MPI-2.1 standard capability.

April 2, 2003, Starkville, Mississippi- MPI Software Technology, Inc., the leading provider of high performance middleware products and related services, has announced the release of ChaMPIon/Pro™ for RedHat®

First Commercial MPI-2.1 product for Linux, Best Message Passing Interface Technology:

ChaMPIon/Pro™ is the first commercial MPI-2.1 version available for Linux. ChaMPIon/Pro is a robust, scalable, high-performance MPI-2.1 Implementation from MPI Software Technology, Inc. This implementation is to retain for the application the maximum amount of scalability possible, while also balancing performance criteria and resource utilization. ChaMPIon/Pro supports Gigabit Ethernet and SMP networks with Myrinet® and InfiniBand® support coming soon. It includes MercutIO™, our high performance portable MPI-IO implementation, currently supporting UFS, NFS, and PVFS. ChaMPIon/Pro one-sided communication is implemented directly on top of the low-level communication primitives in order to achieve the maximum performance. Dynamic Process Management and "Miscellaneous Chapter" MPI-2.1 features are also supported.

The product offers independent message progress in order to overlap computation, communication, and I/O. ChaMPIon/Pro supports both synchronous and asynchronous methods of completion notification. The implementation is thread safe and enables hybrid parallel models using message passing between cluster nodes and multi-threading for intra-node concurrency allowing for exploitation of multi-grained parallelism. Also, a variety of efficient algorithms for collective operations are provided to deliver high performance at massive scale. The implementation is highly tunable and customizable to user requirements.
