  Message Passing Interface (MPI).

  A forum for discussing issues related to the use and interpretation 
  of MPI (Message Passing Interface), an informal standard for writing 
  message-passing programs.
  
  MPI was created by the MPI Forum, a group of University, Industry, and
  National Laboratory representatives including significant
  international representation.  The MPI standard can be obtained from
  netlib by sending the message "send draft-final.ps from mpi" to
  netlib@ornl.gov.  Alternatively, one can anonymous ftp to
  netlib2.cs.utk.edu.
  
  More information about MPI can be obtained by reading the MPI FAQ which
  is available by anonymous ftp at aurora.cs.msstate.edu in 
  pub/mpi/faq/mpi-faq.ascii.   The FAQ is also available through the WWW at 
  URL:
          http://www.cs.msstate.edu/dist_computing/mpi-faq.html
  Furthermore, the URL for the full online manual of the standard, and
  reference implementation is as follows:
          http://www.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/
    
  Appropriate discussion in the group will include both general MPI
  issues, platform-specific questions, and discussion comparing MPI to
  other systems.  Some examples:
