Real-Time Message Passing Specification based on MPI

Standards efforts related to, useful with, or incorporating MPI/RT

[MPI2 Logo]
MPI Forum MPI/RT Has its roots in MPI-1 and MPI-2,
whose standards are contained within this site.
The MPI Forum no longer meets.
[Dat Reorg Logo]
Data Reorganization Standard DARPA is sponsoring an effort to look at high performance
collective data reorganization API's and protocols, a complement and supplement to MPI/RT.

IETF PacketWay Standard
Several groups are working together to specify a high performance system area network (SAN) protocol,
including security, for interoperability, low latency, and high bandwidth. This is a key technology for
providing routing to support inter-MPI/RT implementation communication.

VI Architecture (Intel/Compaq/Microsoft)
A large group of industry interests is producing a SAN datalink layer specification (MAC + LLC)
called the Virtual Interface Architecture (VIA). VIA supports channels, and scalability.
With articulation of QoS on these channels, VIA could be an implementation mechanism
for MPI/RT channels on a SAN network, with PacketWay supporting inter-SAN routing.
