Abstract

The Message Passing Interface Forum (MPIF), with participation from over 40 organizations, has been meeting since January 1993 to discuss and define a set of library interface standards for message passing. MPIF is not sanctioned or supported by any official standards organization. This is a draft of what will become the Final Report, Version 1.0, of the Message Passing Interface Forum. This document contains all the technical features proposed for the interface. This copy of the draft was processed by LATEX on October 27, 1993. , MPIF invites comments on the technical content of MPI, as well as on the editorial presentation in the document. Comments received before January 15, 1994 will be considered in producing the final draft of Version 1.0 of the Message Passing Interface Specification. , The goal of the Message Passing Interface, simply stated, is to develop a widely used standard for writing message-passing programs. As such the interface should establish a practical, portable, efficient, and flexible standard for message passing.
