Free mp mpich software for linux

MP-MPICH provides a Multi-platform MPI implementation.

MP-MICH is a Multi-platform uniform MPI implementation, based on MPICH and SCI-MPICH, resulting in a high performance, consistent MPI across both ethernet and SCI networks in a hybrid environment. There is a single, standardized source tree for all platforms. It is compliant with the MPI-1 standard.

MP-MPICH uses one common source tree for this purpose. It has a new device for Windows NT/2000/2003 to communicate via sockets, and an adapted shared memory device for SMP systems. Additionally, MP-MPICH is a superset of SCI-MPICH, that means that it includes another new device to support direct communication via a fast SCI interconnect. With SCI-MPICH, inter-process message latencies for small messages (for processes running on separate nodes) below 4 us are achieved, and the current measured maximum inter-node (PingPong-)bandwidth is at about 310 MB/s.

In fact, the development of MP-MPICH started when the first release of SCI-MPICH was finished. This release was designed for Solaris and Linux, but since it uses our SMI library which is also available for Windows NT, we thought it would be fun to port SCI-MPICH to NT. The initial port took only 4 hours and we were up and running with SCI-MPICH for NT. The additional/modified devices which are necessary to use MPICH on NT without these extremely fast SCI boards required more time to develop.

MPICH (MVAPICH2) software delivers best performance, scalability and fault tolerance for high-end computing systems and servers using InfiniBand, iWARP and other RDMA-enabled interconnect networking technologies. This software is being used by more than 540 organizations world-wide (Current Users) to extract the potential of these emerging networking technologies for modern systems. This software is also being distributed by many InfiniBand, iWARP and RDMA-enabled interconnect vendors in their software distributions. MVAPICH and MVAPICH2 are also available with Open Fabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) stack.
MVAPICH software is powering several supercomputers in the TOP 500 list. Examples (from the June 07 ranking) include:

GridMPI is a new open-source free-software implementation of the standard MPI (Message Passing Interface) library designed for the Grid. GridMPI project enables unmodified applications to run on cluster computers distributed across the Grid environment.
GridMPI team found that it is feasible to connect cluster computers and to run ordinary scientific applications in distance upto 500 miles. Simple experiment has shown that most MPI benchmarks scale fine upto 20 millisecond round-trip latency which corresponds to about 500 miles in distance, when the clusters are connected by fast 1 to 10 Gbps networks. 500 miles covers the major cities between Tokyo--Osaka in Japan.
Thus, applications which are too large to run on a local cluster should run on multiple clusters in the Grid environment with acceptable performance. However, it is only feasible when using an efficient MPI implementation [1]. Existing implementations are not efficient enough mainly because of the two reasons: their focus on security features and TCP performance problems.
GridMPI skips security layers assuming dedicated secure links. The institutes housing large clusters tend to have their own networks to connect to other institutes in most cases. GridMPI so focuses on the performance on TCP. Since existing implementations are in most cases designed for MPP machines and recently clusters with special hardware, their performance on TCP with Ethernet is not optimal.
Also TCP performance itself is not optimal for the work load of the MPI traffic. In addition, support for heterogeneous combinations of computers of the existing MPI implementations is not satisfactory. Thus, GridMPI is designed and implemented from the scratch. GridMPI is carefully coded and tested with heterogeneity in mind.
Main features:
- Full conformance to the standard: GridMPI passes 100% of the functional tests of the large test suites from ANL and Intel (MPI-1.2 level).
- Full heterogeneity support: GridMPI is fully tested with combinations of processors of 32bit/64bit and big/little-endian.
- Primary support of TCP/IP and sockets: GridMPI is written from scratch and it is new and clean. It is efficient with sockets, and thus suitable for the Grid as well as ordinary Ethernet-based clusters.
- Cooperation with Grid job submission: GridMPI can be used with Globus, Unicore, tool from NAREGI project, etc.
- Checkpointing support: GridMPI supports checkpointing on Linux/IA32 platforms to restart long-running applications from failure.
- Vendor MPI support: GridMPI supports IBM-MPI, Fujitsu-Solaris-MPI, Intel-MPI, and any MPICH-based MPI for clusters with special communication hardware.
Enhancements:
- Minor bugfixes were made.

MPI Ruby is a Ruby binding of MPI. MPI Rubys primary goal in making this binding was to make the power of MPI available to Ruby users in a way that fits into the languages object oriented model.
In order to do this, the buffer and datatype management necessary in the C, C++, and Fortran bindings have been removed. What this means is that MPI Ruby allows you to treat objects as messages.
MPI Ruby also aims to be a complete binding to MPI in that it offers access to nearly all functionality of MPI. While there is not a one-to-one correspondence to functions and constants in the Ruby and C/C++/Fortran bindings, all of the communication and topology features are available.
There are fewer methods in the Ruby binding than there are functions in the C/C++/Fortran bindings, but this is mainly due to the fact that the programmer no longer needs to deal with buffers and datatypes.

ntop is a network traffic probe that shows the network usage, similar to what the popular top Unix command does.
The project is based on libpcap and it has been written in a portable way in order to virtually run on every Unix platform and on Win32 as well.
ntop users can use a a web browser (e.g. netscape) to navigate through ntop (that acts as a web server) traffic information and get a dump of the network status.
In the latter case, ntop can be seen as a simple RMON-like agent with an embedded web interface. The use of:
a web interface
limited configuration and administration via the web interface
reduced CPU and memory usage (they vary according to network size and traffic)
make ntop easy to use and suitable for monitoring various kind of networks.
Main features:
- Sort network traffic according to many protocols
- Show network traffic sorted according to various criteria
- Display traffic statistics
- Store on disk persistent traffic statistics in RRD format
- Identify the indentity (e.g. email address) of computer users
- Passively (i.e. withou sending probe packets) identify the host OS
- Show IP traffic distribution among the various protocols
- Analyse IP traffic and sort it according to the source/destination
- Display IP Traffic Subnet matrix (whos talking to who?)
- Report IP protocol usage sorted by protocol type
- Act as a NetFlow/sFlow collector for flows generated by routers (e.g. Cisco and Juniper) or switches (e.g. Foundry Networks)
- Produce RMON-like network traffic statistics
Additional features of "ntop":
- Network Flows
- Local Traffic Analysis
- Multithread and MP (MultiProcessor) support on both Unix and Win32
- Perl/PHP/Python lightweight API for accessing ntop from remote
- Support of both NetFlow andsFlow as flow collector. ntop can collect simultaneously from multiple probes.
- Traffic statistics are saved into RRD databases for long-run traffic analysis.
- Internet Domain, AS (Autonomous Systems), VLAN (Virtual LAN) Statistics
- Network assets discovery and categorization according to their OS and users
- Protocol decoders for most of known P2P (Peer to Peer) protocols
- Advanced per user HTTP password protection with encrypted passwords
- RRD support for persistently storing per-host traffic information
- Passive remote host fingerprint (Courtesy of ettercap)
- HTTPS (Secure HTTP via OpenSSL)
- Virtual/multiple network interfaces support
- Graphical Charts (via gdchart)
- WAP support

ParallelKnoppix is a remaster of the Knoppix live CD distibution of GNU Linux that allows setting up a cluster of machines for parallel processing using the LAM-MPI and/or MPICH implementations of MPI.

You can convert a room full of machines running Windows into a Linux cluster, and when you shut down, your Windows machines are in their original state. The computers in the cluster can be homogeneous or heterogeneous.

Getting the cluster up and running takes about 5 minutes, if the machines have PXE network cards. Clusters from 2 to 200 machines are supported.
