MPI Documents

The official version of the MPI documents are the English postscript versions. In several cases, a translation or HTML version is also available for convenience. The HTML version was made with automated tools. In case of a difference between these two sources, the postscript version of MPI standard documents are always considered the official version.

Those who prefer to get the documents via anonymous ftp may do so at ftp.mpi-forum.org in pub/docs/.

Some translations of MPI documents are available.
