MPICH is a high-performance and widely portable implementation of the
Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard (MPI-1, MPI-2 and MPI-3).
-The goals of MPICH are: to provide an MPI implementation that
-efficiently supports different computation and communication
-platforms including commodity clusters, high-speed networks and
-proprietary high-end computing systems, and to enable cutting-edge
-research in MPI through an easy-to-extend modular framework for other
-derived implementations.
+The goals of MPICH are:
+(1) to provide an MPI implementation that efficiently supports different
+ computation and communication platforms including commodity clusters
+ (desktop systems, shared-memory systems, multicore architectures),
+ high-speed networks (10 Gigabit Ethernet, InfiniBand, Myrinet, Quadrics)
+ and proprietary high-end computing systems (Blue Gene, Cray) and
+(2) to enable cutting-edge research in MPI through an easy-to-extend
+ modular framework for other derived implementations.
