Abstract: This document describes the design decisions regarding the implementation of MPI on the Fujitsu AP1000 multicomputer. These decisions include how to map MPI onto the AP1000 and the implementation of groups, communicators, point-to-point operations, derived datatypes, collective communication and topologies. The main goal of the implementation was to provide an efficient MPI library with little change to the sys.c7 (CellOS v1.4) kernel. The performance of the implementation is provided with some future directions nominated. This document assumes familiarity with the AP1000 and some of the CellOS functions.
