What is MVAPICH/MVAPICH2?
MVAPICH is a high performance implementation of MPI-1 over InfiniBand and RDMAoE based on MPICH1. MVAPICH2 is a high performance MPI-2 implementation for InfiniBand, 10GigE/iWARP and RDMAoE based on MPICH2. High performance, scalable and fault-tolerance support are provided in these packages. These packages provide multiple underlying support (such as OpenFabrics/Gen2, OpenFabrics/Gen2-Hybrid, OpenFabrics-RDMAoE, QLogic-InfiniPath, uDAPL, and the standard TCP/IP) for portability across multiple networks.
