GoMPI: Message Passing Interface for Parallel Computing
The gompi package is a lightweight wrapper to the OpenMPI C++ library
designed to develop algorithms for parallel computing.
GoMPI is a fork of the gosl MPI library with additional methods.
- install OpenMPI for your system
- ensure golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer is installed (
go getif not) - run
make install
(Other make options include test, build, and clean.)
The latency benchmarks are as follows (note: the Go benchmark does not test a message size of zero bytes):
| message size (bytes) | GoMPI (µs) | OSU MPI Latency Test v5.8 (µs) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | n/a | 0.36 |
| 1 | 0.45 | 0.33 |
| 2 | 0.45 | 0.32 |
| 4 | 0.42 | 0.31 |
