This document represents the work of many people who have served on the MPI-/ Forum. The meetings have been attended by dozens of people from many parts of the world. It is the hard and dedicated work of this group that has led to the MPI-/ standard.

The technical development was carried out by subgroups, whose work was reviewed by the full committee. During the period of development of the Message Passing Interface (MPI-//), many people helped with this effort. Those who served as the primary coordinators are:

The following list includes some of the active participants who attended MPI-// Forum meetings and are not mentioned above.

MPI-// operated on a very tight budget (in reality, it had no budget when the first meeting was announced). Many institutions helped the MPI-// effort by supporting the efforts and travel of the members of the MPI-/ Forum. Direct support was given by NSF and DARPA under NSF contract CDA-9115428 for travel by U.S. academic participants and Esprit under project HPC Standards (21111) for European participants.
