Revision history [back]

ROS doesn't natively support using MPI for message-passing between nodes. It uses sockets for inter-process communication, and shared pointers for intra-process communication. These are generally fast enough for most users.

Judging by the wiki page, the MPI stack was probably experimental, and it looks like it wasn't fully integrated with ROS. There's no in-depth documentation, no tutorials, and it isn't released.
