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.

Boost is a standalone system that (as I understand it) works on top of most/any underlying MPI implementation/s. It is not a standard; I do not believe that it was designed to be interoperable with anything.


Is something available for Java? I have yet to find one.


There were multiple Java research projects back in the 90's. mpiJava was one, but I didn't really follow them closely.
