I think it might be useful to link that from the Boost.MPI docs, too. While the library seems nice (it bridges serialization with MPI), I don't really see anything in there that makes me think it's "so cool".
So after reading it, I felt a bit like the question "What's so cool about Boost.MPI?" remained unanswered.
My suggestion to you is to rather than asking this question, use MPI as you normally would and if you reach a point where something feels tedious, then see if having Boost.MPI as an easier interface will help you. Basically, I think it is a matter of "taste" and there's no reason to jump into Boost.MPI. In the end, you might end up feeling perfectly comfortable with MPI as-is and that's ok. I don't think it is something that is for everyone... Ray
