Tom,

I looked at that and *THOUGHT* it looked funny, but I was unable to see the typo. Yeah, OpenMP. Both have their place, which is sometimes integrated into the same application!

The list isn't small: As Dan mentions, the drug companies are big users, although there's a fair bit of openMPI operation in their codes, too.
Gerry,
I'm sure you meant
                                 OpenMP
(standard shared-memory threaded parallelism)

So easy for fingers to type "MPI".

Even though MPI has far more usage than OpenMP, I have to stick up for
it as a former shared-memory advocate from my SGI days and as a member
of the OpenMP ARB.

CFD in aerospace, and auto manufacturers. The US military almost certainly does parallel processing involving both message passing and Monte Carlo simulations. I've written code that solves physical and satellite geodesy problems using PVM (but I was young and that was a long time ago; today I'd use MPI); a variant of that was apparently moved to the production world after I changed positions and couldn't support it anymore.

I'm not sure to tell you who the biggest corporate users are. It likely depends on one's exposure to even have an opinion. However, for the biggest corporate users I'm aware of in my immediate area, Schlumberger, Exxon-Mobil, Shell Exploration, and Chevron come to mind. This is obviously a very incomplete list.

Subject: [Beowulf] large MPI adopters

hello,


I am curious about what companies, besides the national
labs of course,
use any implementation of MPI to support large
applications of any kind,
whether only internally (like mapreduce for google, for
example) or not.
does anybody know of any cases?
thank you and best regards,


andrea
