The only problem is that at the time of this writing, Boost.MPI does not support or provide abstractions for the full spectrum of communication primitives made available by MPI. Additionally, only the MPI 1.1 standard is supported. This means that the C bindings are still the best vehicle to extract the maximum of performance from your parallel platform, but it is also arguably true that Boost.MPI is the best way of extracting the maximum performance from your programming effort!
Boost.MPI is a small part of the Boost library that is primarily made of template classes but also some ...
