Abstract - Provide a short (one paragraph) description of your proposal.
Nowadays it is necessary to paralellize code most importantly within science areas and given the advanages that ROOT brings to the scientific calculations, mpi appears as an essential extension just because with this support it will be much easier for the user to write efficient and distributed routines without the need to resort to complicated syntaxes which we face when writing code with this separated dependencies. ROOT lacks this capability and we are giving this advantage to it to expand his usage and demand.
Application - Describe your application in detail. Provide some background, describe the work that you are expecting to do in the time leading to the GSoC start.
Brief History of the project
I am working in this project for some time, and in the past I used boost to serialize data, but it changed to TMessage class thanks to Fons, Axel and Rene and all the code that I've rewritten is working in a better way. Now I have prototype to show you at https://github.com/omazapa/RootMpi.
Deliverables -
1) Source Code in an repository that lets you use mpi in ROOT with the next features:
- Communication Framework for scalar, arrays and objects datatypes also for synchronous and asynchronous communication:
- Peer to Peer Communication
- Collective Communication
- Broadcast
- Scatter
- Gather (Allgather)
- Reduce (Allreduce)
- Multidimensional Integration parallelized.
- Basic Matrix/Vectors operation parallelized, addition, substraction, scalar product,Vector/Matrix Multiplication, vector norm Blacs-like.
- GUI to compile and run RootMpi Programs that lets you select Mpi and Root options.
- Code in cmake/cpack to create debian packages and windows packages using NSIS.
- Support for linux using OpenMpi.
- Documentation and Examples

Timeline - Outline at least three milestones and describe what you are planning to have accomplished for each of them.
