Los Alamos-Message Passing Interface

The Los Alamos Message Passing Interface (LA-MPI) project provides an end-to-end network fault-tolerant message passing system for tera-scale clusters. Our objective is to deliver to the application developer a production quality open-source software implementation of a message passing library with leading edge technology underpinnings. The current API supported being MPI 1.2 (C and Fortran bindings).

Our areas of research and develpment include:

• Fault tolerance
• Handling transient network failures like data corruption without aborting the application
• Handling catastrophic failures like the failure of a network component without aborting the application.
• Obtaining high aggregate performance over the network
• Scalability to tens of thousands of processors, including application startup and data delivery.
• Dynamic process management
• Adaptation to new network hardware and software
• Predictable and efficient data delivery progress
