What's not in MPI

Some features were excluded, mainly due to time constraints. The standard does not specify:

• Explicit shared-memory operations

• Interrupt-driven messages, remote execution, or active messages

• Program construction tools
• Debugging facilities
• Process or task management
• Explicit support for threads
• Input or output functions
