BSPonMPI version 0.2 released
-> better performance, predictableThe last few months I was bit occupied with other important things, such as enjoying the sun and rowing in my boat. But now I am used to the nice weather and am able again to concentrate on stuff that really matters: BSPonMPI. The only thing what has been changed, is the main data structure. This resulted in a big performance increase. I took the liberty of comparing BSPonMPI against the Oxford BSP Toolset and PUB and I am very tempted indeed to conclude that BSPonMPI is faster than both its competitors. However there are situations where PUB or the Oxford BSP Toolset are faster.

BSPonMPI version 0.1 released
I am proud to present the first release of BSPonMPI. This software library implements the BSPlib standard on top of MPI. Main features are:- Platform independence: it is designed to be platform independent and it is already tested and found to run on several different architectures including the Dutch national supercomputer and my laptop.
- Speed: Benchmark results show that on DRMA 'puts' it is slightly slower than the Oxford BSP Toolset, but it is much faster performing DRMA 'gets' or BSMP 'sends'.
- Easy usage: To use this library just link your source code with the MPI and BSPonMPI libraries and you get an MPI program. You do not need to recompile this library ever. All your programs will run with equal efficiency.
