MPI Implementations
There are several implementations of Message Passing Interface (MPI).
Some are proprietary works of computer vendors; others are free
and portable to multiple machines.
This location attempts to enumerate all publicly available MPI
implementations and give common vital statistics about them.
As objective metrics emerge, such as passing or failing accepted
validations suites, they will be added.
Links to the supplier's information source are provided where available.
