shmem4py 1.0.0

Python bindings for OpenSHMEM

Overview

This package provides Python bindings for OpenSHMEM. OpenSHMEM is a Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) programming model that provides low-latency, high-bandwidth communication for use in parallel applications. The OpenSHMEM project aims to standardize several implementations of the different SHMEM APIs. shmem4py exposes an API which grounds on the OpenSHMEM 1.5 specification; however, it also supports legacy 1.4 implementations.

Supported implementations

• Cray OpenSHMEMX

• Open Source Software Solutions (OSSS) OpenSHMEM

• Open MPI OpenSHMEM

• OSHMPI

• Sandia OpenSHMEM

Dependencies

• Python 3.7 or newer

• A working OpenSHMEM implementation with its dependencies

• Python modules: CFFI, NumPy

Documentation
