This standard is intended for use by all those who want to write portable
message-passing programs in
Fortran, C and C++.
This includes individual application programmers,
developers of software designed to run on parallel machines, and creators of
environments and tools. In order to be
attractive to this wide audience, the standard must provide a simple, easy-to-use
interface for the basic user while not semantically precluding the
high-performance message-passing operations available on advanced machines.
