Intel MPI Library Development Kit

Published By:

Intel

The Intel MPI Library, a powerful mpi message passing interface, implements the MPI-2 specification across multiple fabrics to enhance application performance on clusters using Intel processors. In addition it provides an abstraction layer than enables you to modify cluster interconnects without having to make major changes to the software. The high performance multifabric message-passing library works on either Windows or Linux and delivers ultimate high performance computing capabilities.

New Features

New in Intel MPI Library 4.1

Increased MPI scalability

Now supports scaling up to 120K processes and Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector supports scaling up to 6K processes to cover the continued growth of HPC systems.

Enhanced MPI standards support and reliability

Supports the MPI standard v2.2 along with Berkeley Labs Checkpoint Restart (BLCR) for improved reliability of long running cluster-based applications.

Latest processor support (Haswell, Ivy Bridge and Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors)

Supports the latest technologies found in the newest Intel architectures including AVX2, TSX and FMA3.

Features

Performance

Get high-performance interconnects, including InfiniBand, Myrinet, as well as TCP, shared memory, and others
Efficiently work through the Direct Access Programming Library (DAPL), making it easy for you to test and run applications on a variety of network fabrics
Get users up and running faster with the ability to install under root or through an ordinary user ID
Use the provided mpivars.sh and mpivars.csh shell scripts for easy environment setup
Reduce hand-coding work by using the mpirun script, which automates multiprocessing daemon (MPD) startup and cleanup
Take advantage of flexible system-, user-, and session-specific configuration files
Give the end user a reliable runtime with transparent support for fallback Internet Protocol (IP) interfaces
Increase performance with the ability to use device-specific and collective-protocol thresholds
Boost performance with memory registration cache
Get more accurate measurements with platform-specific finegrain timers

Compatibility

Based on Argonne National Laboratory’s MPICH-2 implementation
Simplified Integration with leading Linux job schedulers
MPI-2 standard compliance and portability
Support for ROMIO (a high-performance, portable MPI-IO implementation)
Support for leading Linux Parallel Debuggers
Support for GNU compilers.
