Open MPI State of the Union

SESSION: Open MPI State of the Union

EVENT TYPE: Birds of a Feather

TIME: 12:15PM - 1:15PM

SESSION LEADER(S):Jeff Squyres, George Bosilca

ROOM:TCC 303

ABSTRACT:
MPI continues to evolve, both as a standard and as software implementations. The members of the Open MPI project are both driving the evolution of MPI as well as pushing the boundaries of what is possible in extreme computing environments. The K supercomputer validates this approach: a Fujitsu team made local modifications to Open MPI and achieved over 8 petaflops. But at the same time, much effort is put enabling newcomers to HPC to have an MPI that "just works" and is featurized to support both a wide variety of environments. Open MPI community's unique blend of academics, researchers, system administrators, and vendors provide many different viewpoints for what make an MPI implementation successful. Work is ongoing in many areas that are directly applicable to real-world HPC applications and users. Join us at the BOF to hear a state of the Union for Open MPI. New contributors are welcome!
