The LAM Team from the Open Systems Lab at Indiana University is pleased to release LAM/MPI version 7.0.
Representing over two years of development, version 7.0 includes significant new features for MPI applications programmers, parallel programming/MPI researchers, and system administrators. An abbreviated listing of these features includes:
* When used with the Berkeley Lab Checkpoint/Restart (BLCR) single-node checkpointer, parallel MPI jobs can be involuntarily checkpointed and restarted.
* Low-latency, high-bandwidth message passing on Myrinet networks.
* Extensive run-time tuning and underlying network selection (vs. compile-time selection and tuning).
* SMP-aware collectives. Based on the MagPIe algorithms, several of LAM's MPI collective functions have been optimized for use in networks of SMPs.
* Integration with PBS, BProc, and Globus. LAM now uses the native job starting mechanisms of each of these environments to launch jobs in parallel.
* A comprehensive User's Guide, providing a user-centric description of LAM/MPI, how to use all of its features, and how to tune MPI applications at run-time.
* An extensible component architecture such that MPI researchers can write small, self-contained components that "plug-in" to LAM/MPI.
* Support for the TotalView parallel debugger.
