I started the "Implementations" section. My goal for it was for programmers looking to get involved in nuts and bolts cluster computing to look up the languages (they already knew or that maybe they should think of learning), determine which langauges have one or more good implementations, and choose their language and MPI implementation based on the NPOV information presented. That's the "necessary and sufficient information" I'd see this section containing in "finished form". Not that it's binding or anything :-P I just thought I'd throw out a "reasonable goal" to maybe inspire some cool edits. - JenniferForUnity 02:15, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There, I have been working heavily on the Java version because of my current involvement with it. I also added a "Funcionality overview" section before the implementation one, since the article doesn't explain well what MPI is supposed to do. And no, "handling communication between nodes of computers" is not enough, so I tried hinting at a few examples like reduction/gathering and barriers. EpiVictor 17:34, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bad article

Needs pedagogical cleanup, preferably from Quinn's book. This will take time. Help plz. Khazadum 05:05, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
