What is PMIx?

PMIx is an application programming interface standard that provides libraries and programming models with portable and well-defined access to commonly needed services in distributed and parallel computing systems. A typical example of such a service is the portable and scalable exchange of network addresses to establish communication channels between the processes of a parallel application or service. As such, PMIx gives distributed system software providers a better understanding of how programming models and libraries can interface with and use system-level services.
