The Laboratory for Scientific Computing of the Department of Computer
Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame is proud to
announce version 1.0.2 of Object Oriented MPI (OOMPI): A full-featured
class library for MPI.

Version 1.0.2 includes formal support for several more operating
systems and MPI implementations:

Hardware Operating System MPI Implementation
=============== ======================= =========================
Sun SPARC SunOS 4.1.3 LAM 6.1, MPICH 1.1.0
Sun SPARC Solaris 2.5.1 LAM 6.1, MPICH 1.1.0
Sun UltraSPARC Solaris 2.5.1 LAM 6.1, MPICH 1.1.0
--------------- ----------------------- -------------------------
IBM RS/6000 AIX 3.2.5 LAM 6.1, MPICH 1.1.0
IBM RS/6000 AIX 4.1.1 LAM 6.1, MPICH 1.1.0
IBM SP-2 AIX 4.1.1 IBM, maint level 2.1.0.14
--------------- ----------------------- -------------------------
SGI Irix 6.2 LAM 6.1, MPICH 1.1.0
SGI Irix 6.2 SGI MPI release 3.0
--------------- ----------------------- -------------------------
Intel x86 Linux 2.0.0 LAM 6.1, MPICH 1.1.0
--------------- ----------------------- -------------------------
HP HP-UX 10.20 LAM 6.1, MPICH 1.1.0
HP HP-UX 10.20 HP MPI release 1.2
--------------- ----------------------- -------------------------

If you don't have the MPI implementation listed above, it is "highly
recomended" that you upgrade to that release. :-)

Various bugs have also been fixed (the HISTORY file in the distribution
details all the changes).

Some of OOMPI's features include:

- Full MPI-1.1 functionality
- Implemented as a thin layer on top of the C MPI bindings
- Offers convienent and intuitive object-oriented abstractions
for message passing
- Uses many of the powerful semantic features of the
C++ language, such as data typing, polymorphism, etc.
