That concept had been brewing for a while, and there was even an early draft of what such a standard might look like. But this workshop was the first time that the wide variety of existing experimental systems, both open and proprietary, had been brought together. The result of that workshop, which featured presentations on multiple vendor-specific and portable systems, was a realization that a great diversity of good ideas existed among then-current message-passing libraries but that the lack of a standard was impeding the progress of parallel computing.","PeriodicalId":170052,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGHPC Connect","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115694266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
