MPICH

Overview

MPICH is a free implementation of MPI (Message Passing Interface) for distributed memory applications. The latest version MPICH2 implements the MPI-2 standard.

NOTE: The MPICH2 package is under construction and will be announced soon on this page.

The MPICH2 pascal package contains the bindings (= pascal translations of the c header files), which allows pascal programs to use the same variables and functions as c programs would do. So, you can easily convert c examples for MPI to pascal.
