The Message Passing Interface (MPI) has been the dominant message passing solution for scientific computing for decades. MPI point-to-point communications are highly efficient mechanisms for process-to-process communication. However, MPI performance when processes utilize multiple threads is slowed by concurrency protections in the MPI library. MPI's current thread level interface imposes these overheads throughout the library when thread safety is needed. While much work has been done to
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
