<TT>Mpich</TT> was developed during the MPI standards process to provide
feedback to the MPI Forum on implementation and usability issues.
With the release of the MPI standard, <TT>mpich</TT> was designed to provide
an implementation of the MPI standard that could replace the
proprietary message-passing systems on the massively parallel
computers of the day, such as the Intel Paragon, IBM SP, and TMC CM5.
<TT>Mpich</TT> used an early version of the abstract device interface (ADI),
based on the Chameleon [<a href="node66.htm#-Bib11">11</a>] portability system, to provide
a light-weight implementation layer.
To enable development on desktop systems, a device layered on top of
the P4 [<a href="node66.htm#-Bib1">1</a>] system was used. Over time, other devices were
developed; as systems have vanished (e.g., the TMC CM5 and the Ncube),
these devices have been dropped from our distribution. Because
<TT>mpich</TT> used P4 for workstation networks, <TT>mpich</TT> has supported both
MIMD programming and heterogeneous clusters from the very beginning.
<P>
Because <TT>mpich</TT> was designed to enable ports to other systems, many
parallel computer vendors and research groups have used <TT>mpich</TT> as the
basis for their implementation. Many users are now familar only with
the version of <TT>mpich</TT> that uses the <tt>ch_p4</tt> device for
workstation and Beowulf clusters. However, <TT>mpich</TT> continues to
support other systems and continues to serve as a platform for
research into MPI implementations.
