+MPICH is a high-performance and widely portable implementation of the
+Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard (MPI-1, MPI-2 and MPI-3).
+The goals of MPICH are: to provide an MPI implementation that
+efficiently supports different computation and communication
+platforms including commodity clusters, high-speed networks and
+proprietary high-end computing systems, and to enable cutting-edge
+research in MPI through an easy-to-extend modular framework for other
+derived implementations.
