EuroMPI EuroMPI is an annual scientific conference focused on Message Passing Interface technologies, bringing together researchers from High-Performance Computing, Computer Architecture, Parallel Computing, Supercomputing centers and industry. It serves as a forum for dissemination of advances in MPI-3, MPI-4 design discussions, implementations from projects such as Open MPI, MPICH, and evaluations on platforms like Cray XC, IBM Blue Gene, Fujitsu A64FX, and NVIDIA DGX. The event regularly attracts contributors affiliated with institutions including European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, CERN, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, and Technische Universität München.
EuroMPI focuses on protocol design, performance tuning, and standards evolution around Message Passing Interface usage in contexts such as HPC applications, middleware stacks, and runtime systems. Typical topics intersect with research from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Berkeley Lab, Intel Corporation, AMD, and projects like PGAS implementations and MPI+X integrations. The conference format mixes peer-reviewed papers, posters, and demonstrations tied to advances from vendors like HPE, Dell EMC, Microsoft Research, Google Research, Amazon Web Services and research groups at ETH Zurich, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Sorbonne University.
EuroMPI originated in the 1990s amid parallel computing growth influenced by milestones such as the publication of the MPI-1 standard and follow-up work that produced MPI-2 and MPI-3. Founding participants included researchers from Universität Mannheim, University of Edinburgh, National University of Ireland Galway, and early implementers from MPICH and LAM/MPI. Over time, the series engaged with initiatives at PRACE and industrial collaborations with Siemens, Thales Group, Atos, and SiCortex. The conference matured through interactions with events like SC Conference, ISC High Performance, PASC, HPDC, and Euro-Par, aligning roadmaps with communities at IEEE, ACM, and standards work at ISO/IEC JTC 1.
EuroMPI features peer-reviewed technical sessions, hands-on tutorials, and specialized workshops co-located with projects such as OpenSHMEM, UPC forums, and working groups from MPI Forum. Workshops have addressed topics inclusive of fault tolerance prototypes from Checkpoint/Restart projects at Los Alamos National Laboratory, asynchronous communication models investigated by teams at ETH Zurich and KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and accelerator-aware MPI efforts spanning collaborations with NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, and ARM. Demonstrations often include software from ScaLAPACK reworkings, PETSc integrations, Trillinos use cases, and tools like TAU, Score-P, VampirTrace, and Perftools.
Recurring research themes encompass collective communication algorithms, one-sided communication, non-blocking collectives, dynamic process management, and interoperability between MPI and task-based runtimes like OpenMP, Intel TBB, Charm++, and HPX. Work spans experimental platforms such as HPE Apollo clusters, instrumentations using PAPI and networks like InfiniBand, Omni-Path, RoCE, and Mellanox fabrics. Other themes connect to applications in Computational Fluid Dynamics from groups at CERFACS, climate modeling at ECMWF, molecular dynamics from Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, and machine learning at DeepMind and Facebook AI Research when scaled training uses MPI-based collectives.
EuroMPI is organized by committees comprised of academics and industry representatives from institutions such as University of Stuttgart, University of Cambridge, University of Edinburgh, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, University of Manchester, University of Padua, University of Innsbruck, and corporate labs at IBM Research and Intel Labs. The program committee collaborates with the MPI Forum and liaises with steering committees linked to PRACE and regional HPC initiatives like Gauss Centre for Supercomputing and DEISA. Conference logistics have been hosted in cities such as Madrid, Dublin, Berlin, Edinburgh, Porto, Vienna, Leuven, Tsukuba University (as partner events), and Amsterdam.
EuroMPI confers best paper and best student paper awards judged by panels including senior scientists from Argonne National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, and academics awarded recognitions such as the ACM Gordon Bell Prize or tied to laureates from IEEE Sidney Fernbach Award committees for related contributions. Previous award-winning work has influenced implementations in Open MPI, MPICH, and driven features in MPICH2 releases and vendor stacks from Cray and HPE.
EuroMPI has shaped the MPI ecosystem by incubating proposals adopted in MPI-3 and by providing testbeds for performance studies that informed vendors like Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, and system integrators such as Bull and Atos. Contributions include algorithmic innovations in collective operations adopted by Open MPI and MPICH, integrations with debuggers from TotalView and DDT, and production use cases at centers like CERN and Jülich Research Centre. The conference continues to influence curriculum at universities such as ETH Zurich, TU Dresden, Politecnico di Milano, and University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign through published proceedings and collaborative projects with initiatives like EUDAT and Horizon 2020.
