TNT (a widely used program for phylogenetic analysis) already has PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) for parallel jobs handling. However: - MPI remains the dominant model used in high-performance computing today. It has become a de facto standard for communication among processes that model a parallel program. - Actual supercomputers such as computer Clusters often run such programs. The project goal was to integrate MPI onto TNT and next to PVM. The user decides one or the other. Syntax and commands are practically the same.
