1. [**boost::mpi**](https://github.com/boostorg/mpi) offers C++ bindings for a
large number of MPI functions. As such it corresponds to our main goal *1*.
Major drawbacks of using *boost::mpi* are the unnecessary overhead of
*boost::serialization* (especially in terms of memory overhead) and that it
ceased to be a header only library. Most cluster don't have an installation
of *boost* or the available version is ancient. Boost installations and
dependencies have become a huge mess.
*boost::serialization* (especially in terms of memory overhead).
*boost::mpi* also doesn't support large message sizes (> `INT_MAX`), and
the custom reduction operator implementation is rather limited.
2. [**mpp**](https://github.com/motonacciu/mpp) offers low-overhead C++ bindings
for MPI point-to-point communication primitives. As such, this solutions
shows better performance than *boost::mpi*, but was never continued beyond
