IRIX Message Passing Toolkit
Latest Installed Version : 1.7

From the SGI website:
The Message-Passing Toolkit provides versions of industry-standard message-passing libraries optimized for SGITM and Cray® computer systems. These high-performance libraries permit application developers to use standard, portable interfaces for developing applications while obtaining the best possible communications performance on SGI and Cray computer systems.
The SGI MPT contains programs and routines for:
- MPI
- PVM
- SHMEM
Note that the SGI C, C++, and Fortran compilers and some programming libraries also support shared-memory parallel programmming.
Invoking
- The MPT routines are loaded on local machines running IRIX 6.5.20.
Getting Help
Help is available at the following locations:
- The man shmem, and man mpi manual pages.
- The SGI Technical Publications Library has on-line manuals for the MIPSpro compliers, and the MPT (MPI/PVM toolkit) in the developer bookshelf.
- The LSC's MPI page at Notre Dame.
