WMPI 1.5 Beta

WMPI v1.5 Beta is a full implementation of the Message Passing Interface standard (MPI) for Microsoft NT platforms. Contrary to previous versions it is not based on the MPICH implementation. WMPI was redesigned from scratch. This version contains the new WMPI kernel and fully implements the MPI 1.1 standard. This is the first version of a sequence which will lead WMPI to a full implementation of MPI 2.0.

This version of WMPI passed all the release tests. However, our experience with the former versions has shown that some of the problems are only found in the real world, when WMPI is pushed to the limits with the users applications. Hence, we're releasing the current version as a Beta first to receive feedback from the users. Therefore, if you have any problem, suggestions please contact us by sending a message to wmpi@dei.uc.pt.

This new version has several changes and introduces new features when compared with the former version. Please read the rest of the documentation before starting to use the new library.
