Abstract:
MPITypes is an open source, portable library that enables the construction of efficient MPI datatype processing routines outside the MPI implementation. MPITypes enables programmers who are not MPI implementers to create efficient datatype processing routines for such purposes as copying data between structures or translating data into portable data formats.
