I am requesting a formal review for a Boost library that provides modern C++ bindings for the Message Passing Interface (MPI).
I've used MPI before, albeit in C, and I have a few questions (before even reading the documentation fully). I am also very excited with the prospect of actually having an MPI bindings implementation for C++ in boost. I see that this requires any one of three MPI implementations -- and there are a lot of differences between these implementations internally and architecturally. There's also the question of compiler compliance, and platform dependence -- although I haven't seen the code yet, my question would be more of pragmatic in the sense that it maintain a common STL-like interface without breaking the distributed/parallel computing frame. I would like to see really more of this -- though much like in parallel supercomputing applications, the issue really will be more of performance than anything. Anyone in the list can do a review right? -- Dean Michael C.
