It enables distributed computing on Intel-based clusters by providing standards-compliant message passing for parallel applications. The package is compatible with the open-source MPICH implementation, meaning code written for one can often work with the other.\n\nThis is a runtime distribution rather than a development kit\u2014it provides the compiled MPI libraries needed to run parallel applications. Installation requires platform-specific wheels; currently only Linux x86_64 and Windows x64 are supported. No Python runtime dependencies are declared, suggesting the package primarily wraps native Intel MPI binaries.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need Intel MPI in a Python environment and your system is Linux x86_64 or Windows x64. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and is widely downloaded. However, verify that the proprietary Intel Simplified Software License terms suit your use case, and confirm Python version compatibility before deploying."},"id":"impi-rt","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/impi-rt","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/impi-rt.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/impi-rt/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"impi-rt","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Intel\u00ae MPI Library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":148677,"position":11022,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2021.18.1"}
