Intel® MPI Library Reference Manual for Linux* OS
The Intel® MPI Library is a multi-fabric message passing library that implements the Message Passing Interface, v3.0 (MPI-3.0) specification. It provides a standard library across Intel® platforms that enable adoption of MPI-3.0 functions as their needs dictate.
The Intel® MPI Library enables developers to change or to upgrade processors and interconnects as new technology becomes available without changes to the software or to the operating environment.
The library is provided in the following kits:
The Intel® MPI Library Runtime Environment (RTO) has the tools you need to run programs, including scalable process management system (Hydra*), Multipurpose Daemon* (MPD), and supporting utilities, shared (.so) libraries, and documentation.
The Intel® MPI Library Software Development Kit (SDK) includes all of the Runtime Environment components plus compilation tools, including compiler drivers such as mpiicc, include files and modules, static (.a) libraries, debug libraries, and test codes.
