Absoft MPI & MPich Resources!

Absoft MPI Resources

Absoft compilers are fully compatible with all leading MPI configurations on Linux, Windows and MacOS. Absoft works directly with MPICH (Argonne), Open MPI and Microsoft to ensure compatibility with the respective implementation. Supported versions and instructions for building Absoft compatible MPI's are listed below. Build your own cluster using the MPI configuration best suited to your needs.

Absoft Rolls + Rocks bundles may be the best solution for you if you have a larger system and do not want to configure all of your own software. Absoft Rolls + Rocks bundles are complete, pre-configured cluster software solutions which include the full Absoft tools suite. Absoft and Clustercorp have partnered to develop pre-configured, easy to install and fully supported Absoft Rolls for Linux.
