Hi Jeff,
On the boost front, I liked how they implemented their MPI interface that takes advantage of C++ language constructs over and above a simple overlay or wrapper.
However, boost's implementation is boost specific right? I can't compile the same code to another library because it is not standardized. Fortunately, boost is open source.
Is something available for Java? I have yet to find one.
Thanks!

All new MPI topics start with a proposal. :-)
But before you spend time on a proposal, you might want to ask the
community if they want official Java bindings. There were strong
waves of apathy to prior attempts at standardizing Java bindings.

I'm not sure what you're asking here. The Boost MPI package is a fine
standalone package. I don't see any reason to standardize it; MPI
already has basic-building-blocks C++ bindings.
