Does Boost::Mpi support Parallel I/O? I cannot find any information about it and of course the boost documentation (even about the linker flags) is completly out of date ...

No. Boost::MPI only supports functionality up to MPI 1.1 (and not all of that), and MPI-IO was part of MPI 2.0. It's a shame that the Boost::MPI stuff is so out of date, because it's amongst the best C++ interfaces to MPI out there.

I think the MPI C++ syntax was up to MPI 2.1 before they declared it deprecated? – pyCthon Nov 26 '12 at 06:57

@pyCthon, MPI C++ and `Boost.MPI` are two _distinct_ C++ bindings to MPI. – Hristo Iliev Nov 26 '12 at 12:37

@HristoIliev i just thought it was interesting that boost is behind the actually MPI C++ binding, would you like me to reword my original comment – pyCthon Nov 26 '12 at 15:47

@pyCthon, I'm not a native English speaker, so I've got the impression that your comment addresses the MPI version in the answer. Sorry about the misunderstanding. – Hristo Iliev Nov 26 '12 at 15:55

@HristoIliev I worded my thoughts poorly as well. – pyCthon Nov 26 '12 at 17:29
