MPI for Python
Project description
This package provides Python bindings for the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard. It is implemented on top of the MPI-1/MPI-2 specification and exposes an API which grounds on the standard MPI-2 C++ bindings.
This package supports:
Convenient communication of any picklable Python object
point-to-point (send & receive)
collective (broadcast, scatter & gather, reduction)
Fast communication of Python object exposing the Python buffer interface (NumPy arrays, builtin bytes/string/array objects)
point-to-point (blocking/nonbloking/persistent send & receive)
collective (broadcast, block/vector scatter & gather, reduction)
Process groups and communication domains
Creation of new intra/inter communicators
Cartesian & graph topologies
Parallel input/output:
read & write
blocking/nonbloking & collective/noncollective
individual/shared file pointers & explicit offset
Dynamic process management
spawn & spawn multiple
accept/connect
name publishing & lookup
One-sided operations (put, get, accumulate)
You can install the in-development version of mpi4py with:
$ pip install mpi4py==dev
or:
$ easy_install mpi4py==dev
