About:
Boost.MPI is a C++ library that provides a message-passing interface (MPI) for high-performance parallel computing. It enables seamless interoperability between C++ and MPI, offering a clean, object-oriented API for distributed memory programming. This package integrates Boost.MPI with Open-MPI for robust, scalable cluster computing.

Key Features:

C++-native interface for MPI standards
Supports complex data types and serialization
Integrates with Boost for enhanced functionality
Scalable for high-performance computing clusters

Use Cases:

Developing scientific simulations requiring parallel processing
Building high-performance computing (HPC) applications
Distributing computational workloads across multiple nodes

Alternatives:

MPICH – Standard MPI implementation, but Boost.MPI provides a more C++-idiomatic interface
OpenMPI – Often used as the backend, but Boost.MPI adds C++ abstractions

License: BSL-1.0

Dependencies: boost, open-mpi
