MVAPICH is an implementation of MPI-1 standard which is based on MPICH and MVICH (MPI for Virtual Interface Architecture). The latest release is MVAPICH 1.2 (includes MPICH 1.2.7). MVAPICH 1.2 supports the following underlying transport interfaces:

  • High-Performance support with scalability for OpenFabrics/Gen2 interface to work with InfiniBand and other RDMA interconnects.
  • High-Performance support with scalability for OpenFabrics/Gen2-RDMAoE interface.
  • High-Performance support with scalability (for clusters with multi-thousand cores) for OpenFabrics/Gen2-Hybrid interface to work with InfiniBand.
  • Shared-Memory only channel which is useful for running MPI jobs on multi-processor systems without using any high-performance network. For example, multi-core servers, desktops, and laptops; and clusters with serial nodes.
  • The InfiniPath interface for InfiniPath adapters.
  • The standard TCP/IP interface (provided by MPICH) to work with a range of networks. This interface can be used with IPoIB support of InfiniBand also.

In addition, MVAPICH 1.2 supports many features for high performance, scalability portability and fault tolerance. It also supports a wide range of platforms (architecture, OS, compilers and InfiniBand adapters).
