Abstract
This paper discusses efforts toward providing embeddable versions of MPI for use in memory-constrained systems. Two design paradigms were followed: top-down, which removed certain functionality from a full MPI implementation, and bottom-up, which began with a six function MPI implementation and added functionality to create a sequence of embeddable libraries. A comparison between these two approaches is presented along with a discussion of more hardware-specific issues
