The MPI.NET source code is available as Open Source software under
the Boost Software License
(details). However, most users of MPI.NET
will want to download either the runtime (for installation on cluster
compute nodes) or the SDK (for developing programs using MPI.NET)
binaries.
On Windows, MPI.NET requires Microsoft's MPI implementation (MS-MPI), which can
be installed one of two ways:
- Microsoft
Compute Cluster Pack SDK: includes MS-MPI and the
various headers that one needs if writing MPI programs in
C or C++ without MPI.NET. Recommended for most
users, because it installs on Windows XP.
- Microsoft
Compute Cluster Server: install the Microsoft Compute
Cluster pack on Microsoft Compute Cluster Server 2003 to get
support for MPI. To actually deploy MPI programs on a Windows
cluster, you will need to install the Microsoft Compute
Cluster Pack. However, for development purposes it is
generally best to use the SDK mentioned above.
For more information about installing MPI.NET, please see
the installation guide,
as part of the MPI.NET tutorial.
Version 0.9.0
This release of MPI.NET provides critical bug fixes for
transmission of serialized data and fixes the returned status from receive operations, along with some documentation
improvements.

Version 0.6.0
This release of MPI.NET provides additional functionality, bug
fixes, and some performance improvements. New functionality includes
support for MPI attributes and topologies, translation of MPI errors
into suitable C# exceptions, and support for compilation on
Unix-like platforms
via Mono using
Open MPI, LAM/MPI, or MPICH2 as the native MPI.

Version 0.5.0 -- SC '07 Technology Preview
This is the first public release of the MPI.NET rewrite started in
April, 2007. This version of MPI.NET provides streamlined APIs that
make it easier to express message-passing parallel applications in an
object-oriented language, using the standard MPI interfaces. MPI.NET
optimizes the use of MPI automatically, making the best use of
high-performance network interfaces. While MPI.NET provides support
for most of the MPI 1.1 standard within .NET, the interfaces are not
yet stable and may change in the future.
Original MPI.NET Bindings
These are the original C# bindings for MPI, written by Jeremiah
Willcock and discussed in the paper "Using MPI with C# and the
Common Language Infrastructure" (see
our publications
page). These bindings were developed with .NET 1.1 and, at this
point, are only of historic interest because they have been
surpassed by the MPI.NET rewrite.
