MPI (Message-Passing Interface) is a standard specification for
message-passing libraries. mpich is a portable implementation of
the full MPI specification for a wide variety of parallel computing
environments, including workstation clusters and massively parallel
processors (MPPs). mpich contains, along with the MPI library itself,
a
programming environment for working with MPI programs. The programming
environment includes a portable startup mechanism, several profiling
libraries for studying the performance of MPI programs, and an X interface
to all of the tools. This guide explains how to compile, test, and
install mpich and its related tools.
This document describes how to obtain and install
mpich [7], the portable implementation of
the MPI Message-Passing Standard Details on using the MPICH implementation are
presented in a separate User's Guide for
mpich [5].
