Foil 120 MPI's prime goals are:

From MetaComputing -- MRA Meeting Part I:Concepts and Issues Tutorial for CRPC MRA Meeting at Cornell -- May 7 1996. by Mark Baker, Geoffrey Fox
To provide source-code portability
To allow efficient implementation across a range of architectures
It also offers:
A great deal of functionality
Support for heterogeneous parallel architectures
Deliberately outside the scope of MPI is any explicit support for:
  • - Initial loading of processes onto processors - Spawning of processes during execution - Debugging - Parallel I/O
