MPI.NET
MPI.NET is a high-performance, easy-to-use implementation of
the Message Passing
Interface (MPI) for Microsoft's .NET environment. MPI is
the de facto standard for writing parallel programs running
on a distributed memory system, such as a compute cluster, and is
widely implemented. Most MPI implementations provide support for
writing MPI programs in C, C++, and Fortran. MPI.NET provides
support for all of the .NET languages (especially C#), and includes
significant extensions (such as automatic serialization of objects)
that make it far easier to build parallel programs that run on
clusters.
News
- October 6, 2008: MPI.NET 1.0 is now available! This
is our first major release of MPI.NET, providing support for most
of MPI 1.1 and parts of MPI 2.0. This release of MPI.NET works
with Microsoft's new HPC Server 2008 as well as with the older
Computer Cluster Server 2003. Please visit our
download page to install MPI.NET 1.0.
- September 22, 2008: Microsoft has
released Windows
HPC Server 2008, which includes version 2 of Microsoft's MPI
implementation. The HPC
Pack 2008 SDK provides the tools needed to write MPI programs
for Windows HPC Server 2008. MPI programs using MPI.NET will run
unmodified on Windows HPC Server 2008 as well as on previous
versions of Microsoft's HPC offerings.
- September 4, 2008: Tutorials for MPI.NET in C# and
Python are now available (in Microsoft Word format) on
the documentation page.
- June 19, 2008: The MPI.NET 0.9.0 release is now available,
bringing bug fixes and documentation improvements. Please visit our
download page to install this updated version
of MPI.NET.
- June 8, 2008: The MPI.NET 0.8.0 release is now
available, with a crucial bug fix for sending large, serialized
data types and some minor improvements to the documentation and
MPI. Please visit our download page
to install this updated version of MPI.NET.
- February 18, 2008: Douglas Gregor will be giving a talk
about MPI.NET at the
ACM SIGPLAN Symposium
on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming (PPoPP
'08) this week in Salt Lake City, Utah.
- November 11, 2007: The MPI.NET 0.5.0 Technology Preview
release is now available, providing a high-performance,
easy-to-use MPI interface for C# and the other Microsoft .NET
languages. Please see our download page
for more information.
- April, 2007: We have begun development of a completely
new, open source MPI.NET library written in C#. This new MPI.NET
is based
on Boost.MPI,
and will provide a far more natural and expressive high-level
interface to MPI from C# and the other .NET languages. A preview
release of MPI.NET will be available here
for SC '07.
