Hello, Because today the clusters with multicore nodes are quite common and the cores within a node share memory.
Which Implementations of MPI (no matter commercial or free), make automatic and efficient use of shared memory for message passing within a node. (means which MPI librarries auomatically communicate over shared memory instead of interconnect on the same node). regards, Ali.
