The Open MPI Project <https://www.open-mpi.org/>_ is an open source
implementation of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) specification <https://www.mpi-forum.org/docs/>_ that is developed and maintained
by a consortium of academic, research, and industry partners. Open
MPI is therefore able to combine the expertise, technologies, and
resources from all across the High Performance Computing community in
order to build the best MPI library available. Open MPI offers
advantages for system and software vendors, application developers and
computer science researchers.
The Open MPI documentation can be viewed in the following ways:
- Online at https://ompi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
- In self-contained (i.e., suitable for local viewing, without an
internet connection) in official distribution tarballs under
docs/_build/html/index.html.
The source code for Open MPI's docs can be found in the Open MPI Git
repository under the docs folder.
Developers who clone the Open MPI Git repository will not have the HTML documentation and man pages by default; it must be built. Instructions for how to build the Open MPI documentation can be found here: https://ompi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developers/prerequisites.html#sphinx.
