WMPI™ is a middleware for high performance computing developed by Critical and capable of harnessing the power of workstation clusters to execute highly demanding business or scientific applications with a low price/performance ratio. Performance tests show that its performance, when running real world applications is over 40% faster than other MPI implementations on Windows.
WMPI™ is an implementation of the Message Passing Interface Standard (MPI) that currently has a user base of several thousand institutions within academy, R&D, and enterprises. MPI is the de-facto standard for writing parallel applications, superseding older methodologies because the message-passing paradigm is portable and scalable.
WMPI™ was the first MPI-2 standard implementation for both Windows and Linux operating systems worldwide. Platform support includes Windows NT, 2000, XP, Server 2003 and a large range of Linux-distributions such as, Red Hat, SuSe, Mandrake, Debian, Gentoo, SlackWare and Turbo Linux. As well as 32 bit platforms, WMPI™ also supports the 64-bit AMD Opteron processor.
A wide range of applications can benefit from being run in parallel but the majority of our customers are in the fields of FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). These types of application are highly compute intensive and require large amounts of computing power each time a simulation scenario is tested. WMPI™ currently scales up to more than a thousand (1000) processors without any architectural limitation.
