For you who has interest in parallelism to gain performance, WindowsHPC.net is your place. You can start learn about MPI but little OpenMP info there. MSMPI is based on MPICH2 from Argonne National Laboratory. It offers several benefits:
- Ease of porting existing code that uses MPICH2.
- Security based on Microsoft Active Directory.
- High performance on Windows.
- Binary compatibility across different types of interconnectivity options.
The 32-bit version of Msmpi.dll uses the __stdcall calling convention for the C/C++ functions and the __cdecl calling convention for the FORTRAN functions. The 64-bit version of these functions use the __fastcall calling convention.
