The original specification for the Message Passing Interface (MPI) included language bindings for C and Fortran 77. C++ programs that used MPI were thus required to use the C bindings. With MPI-2, a C++ interface for all of MPI is specified. In this paper, we describe the design of the C++ interface for MPI and provide some of the history and motivations behind the design decisions.

BACKGROUND Although high exercise tolerance is associated with an excellent prognosis, the significance of abnormal myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in patients with high exercise tolerance has not been established. This study retrospectively compares the utility of MPI and exercise ECG (EECG) in these patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Of 388 consecutive patients who underwent exercise MPI and ...

BACKGROUND Exercise electrocardiography (ETT) is frequently used in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) improves diagnostic stratification. There are no randomized trials comparing ETT and MPI. We hypothesized that first-line MPI would be effective and cost-saving versus ETT. METHODS AND R...

Petascale machines with close to a million processors will soon be available. Although MPI is the dominant programming model today, some researchers and users wonder (and perhaps even doubt) whether MPI will scale to such large processor counts. In this paper, we examine this issue of how scalable is MPI. We first examine the MPI specification itself and discuss areas with scalability concerns ...

BACKGROUND Early classification of severity of peritonitis by scoring systems, including the Mannheim peritonitis index (MPI) and the multiple organ failure (MOF) score, modulates surgical and medical management. AIM To predict outcome of patients with peritonitis using the MPI and MOF scoring systems. METHODS Prospective evaluation of the MPI and MOF score was performed in 80 consecutive p...

Presently, different MPI implementations cannot interoperate with each other. In order to do distributed computing across different vendors’ machines now requires that a single MPI implementation, such as MPICH, be used rather than the vendors’ own optimized MPI implementations. This talk describes a software package called P VMPI we are developing that allows interoperability of vendors’ optim...

199 human serum samples were examined for the presence of myxovirus parainfluenza 3 (mpi 3) haemagglutination inhibition (hi) antibodies. or tbe total male sera, 75% and female 70.52% had hi antibody titers of t:32 or greater. the percentage of positive samples increased according to the age grouping of the human beings. these results indicate that mpi 3 virus infection is widespread among the ...

ABSTRACT MPI collective operations provide a standardized interface for performing data movements within a group of processes. The e ciency of collective communication operations depends on the actual algorithm, its implementation, and the speci c communication problem (type of communication, message size, number of processes). Many MPI libraries provide numerous algorithms for speci c collecti...

background & aim : primary dysmenorrhea (pd) is the most common genital disease among adults which can disrupt daily activities and reduce quality of life. acupressure was recommended for relief of pd and the aim of this study was to compare the maximum pain intensity (mpi) and duration of pd after acupressure on third liver (liv3) and placebo points. methods & materials : students who were suf...

The Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard provides a powerful mechanism for describing non-contiguous memory locations: derived datatypes. In addition, MPI derived datatypes have a key role in the MPI-2 I/O operations. In principle, MPI derived datatypes allow a user to more efficiently communicate noncontiguous data (for example, strided data) because the MPI implementation can move the dat...
