Kurzfassung englisch:
A so-called high-quality implementation of MPI [1] first and foremost ensures best possible performance on the systems used by the application programmer. Second, this high-quality MPI implementation should also behave as expected. It is neither clear what exactly "best possible performance" means, nor what application programmers actually expect and could sensibly expect regarding MPI performance.
Performance guidelines [2] is an attempt to formalize in a verifiable way reasonable expectations on MPI performance without relying on abstract models of system and algorithm performance. Verified guidelines guard again unpleasant performance surprises in MPI applications, and ensure a degree of performance portability between systems and libraries. Violated guidelines alert the user to problematic features of her MPI library, and show the library implementer where improvements are needed. We give concrete examples
of performance guidelines for collective operations [3] and derived datatypes [4] for ensuring high quality of MPI library implementations.
