MPAPI vs MPI.NET vs ?

Question

I'm working on college project. I have to develop distributed computing system. And i decided to do some research to make this task fun :) I've found MPAPI and MPI.NET libraries. Yes, they are .NET libraries(Mono, in my case). Why .NET ? I'm choosing between Ada, C++ and C# so to i've choosed C# because of lower development time.

I have two goals:

1. Simplicity;
2. Performance;
3. Cluster computing.

So, what to choose - MPAPI or MPI.NET or something else ?

Answer 1

If your using .NET you could also use the windows HPC SDK http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=12887da1-9410-4a59-b903-693116bfd30e&displaylang=en

But using Mono sounds like fun ;)
