| MPI for Python (mpi4py) provides bindings of the Message Passing |
| Interface (MPI) standard for the Python programming language, |
| allowing any Python program to exploit multiple processors. |
| |
| This package is constructed on top of the MPI-1/MPI-2 specification |
| and provides an object oriented interface which closely follows |
| MPI-2 C++ bindings. It supports point-to-point (sends, receives) and |
| collective (broadcasts, scatters, gathers) communications of any |
| picklable Python object as well as optimized communications of |
| Python object exposing the single-segment buffer interface (NumPy |
| arrays, builtin bytes/string/array objects). |
