A simplified, efficient, interface to MPI for HPC clusters. It is a derivation and rethinking of the Rmpi package. pbdMPI embraces the prevalent parallel programming style on HPC clusters. Beyond the interface, a collection of functions for global work with distributed data and resource-independent RNG reproducibility is included. It is based on S4 classes and methods.
