# Microsoft MPI
Microsoft MPI (MS-MPI) is a Microsoft implementation of the [Message Passing Interface standard](https://www.mpi-forum.org) for developing and running parallel applications on the Windows platform.
MS-MPI offers several benefits:
- Ease of porting existing code that uses [MPICH](https://www.mpich.org).
- Security based on Active Directory Domain Services.
- High performance on the Windows operating system.
- Binary compatibility across different types of interconnectivity options.
## Version of MPI standard
MS-MPI is MPI 2.2 compliant with the exception of Fortran bindings errata around attributes interop between C and Fortran. MS-MPI implements a subset of features from MPI 3.1 standard:
- Non-blocking collectives,
- RMA,
- MPI shared memory,
- New datatypes,
- Large counts,
- Matched probe.
For the full list of APIs please see [Microsoft MPI Reference](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/message-passing-interface/microsoft-mpi).
## MS-MPI downloads
The following are current downloads for MS-MPI:
- [MS-MPI v10.1.2](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=100593) (new\!) - see [Release notes](microsoft-mpi-release-notes.md)
- The MS-MPI SDK is also available on [Nuget](https://www.nuget.org/packages/msmpisdk/).
Earlier versions of MS-MPI are available from the [Microsoft Download Center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=390734).

# Building
## Prerequisites
- [Visial Studio 2017](https://docs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/install/install-visual-studio)
Please make sure to select the following workloads during installation:
- .NET desktop development (required for CBT/Nuget packages)
- Desktop development with C++
- [Windows SDK](https://developer.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk)
- [Windows WDK](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/drivers/download-the-wdk)
- [GFortran](http://mingw-w64.org/doku.php)
- Update _GFORTRAN_BIN_ in Derectory.Build.props to the install location of GFortran
- [Perl](https://www.perl.org/get.html#win32)
Based on the installed VS/SDK/WDK versions, update _VCToolsVersion_ and _WindowsTargetPlatformVersion_ in Directory.Build.props
Note that the build system uses [CommonBuildToolSet(CBT)](https://commonbuildtoolset.github.io/). You may need to unblock __CBT.core.dll__ (under .build/CBT) depending on your security configurations. Please refer to [CBT documentation](https://commonbuildtoolset.github.io/#/getting-started) for additional details.
## Build
To build, open a __Native Tools Command Prompt for Visual Studio__ and run ``msbuild`` from root folder.
