The project is maintained in the OpenPMIx GitHub organization and publishes Sphinx documentation at docs.prrte.org. ### Adoption history PRRTE matters to MPI users because Open MPI uses it for practical runtime duties such as launching, monitoring, killing, and reaping remote processes. Package-manager users commonly encounter it as a dependency or companion runtime in modern Open MPI and PMIx stacks. ### How it is used Users interact with PRRTE through commands such as prte, prterun, prun, prted, and prte_info. Runtime tuning is done with PRTE MCA parameters on the command line, through PRTE_MCA_* environment variables, or through MCA parameter files. ### Why package nerds care For package maintainers, PRRTE is part of the split of MPI runtime plumbing into separately packaged PMIx and runtime components. Its configuration file names, installed man pages, and launch binaries are important integration points for Open MPI builds and HPC cluster images. ### Timeline - 2003-2026: PRRTE documentation carries PRRTE Community copyright lineage. - 2026-06-23: PRRTE v3.0.14 released on the official GitHub releases page. - 2026-07-04: Latest PRRTE online documentation updated. ### Related projects - OpenPMIx provides the process-management interface ecosystem around PRRTE. - Open MPI uses PRRTE for runtime launch and process-management duties. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for prrte. Package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL. ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval. ## Configuration files - Unix: ~/.prte/mca-params.conf, $prefix/etc/prte-mca-params.conf ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** prrte - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 1 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - prrte: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/pr/prrte/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - dnf - prrte - 3.0.6-10.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: prrte from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/210a2053c8e007daf9ae39c2a21daaed9b2ddd07d63ecffa597050361e73650c-primary.xml.zst | PMIx Reference RunTime Environment (PRRTE) | https://github.com/openpmix/prrte - dnf - prrte-devel - 3.0.6-10.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: prrte-devel from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/210a2053c8e007daf9ae39c2a21daaed9b2ddd07d63ecffa597050361e73650c-primary.xml.zst | Development files for prrte | https://github.com/openpmix/prrte - dnf - prrte-libs - 3.0.6-10.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: prrte-libs from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/210a2053c8e007daf9ae39c2a21daaed9b2ddd07d63ecffa597050361e73650c-primary.xml.zst | Libraries for prrte | https://github.com/openpmix/prrte - pacman - prrte - 3.0.14-1: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: prrte from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | PMIx Reference RunTime Environment | https://github.com/openpmix/prrte - MacPorts - pcc: installed executable or alias match | MacPorts ports tree: lang/pcc/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Debian apt - pcc - 1.2.0~DEVEL+20220331-1: installed executable or alias match | Debian stable package indexes: pcc from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Portable C Compiler | http://pcc.ludd.ltu.se/ - Ubuntu apt - pcc - 1.2.0~DEVEL+20220331-1: installed executable or alias match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: pcc from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | Portable C Compiler | http://pcc.ludd.ltu.se/ ## Related links - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Language runtime packages](https://pkg.so/language-runtime-packages/) - Matched language runtime, compiler, or interpreter metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://pkg.so/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Scientific computing packages](https://pkg.so/scientific-computing-tools/) - Matched scientific computing metadata. - [libevent](https://pkg.so/brew/libevent/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [hwloc](https://pkg.so/brew/hwloc/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [pmix](https://pkg.so/brew/pmix/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [open-mpi](https://pkg.so/brew/open-mpi/) - Popular package that depends on this formula. - [mpich](https://pkg.so/brew/mpich/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, cluster, hpc, mpi, science. - [pnetcdf](https://pkg.so/brew/pnetcdf/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, hpc, mpi, science. - [simgrid](https://pkg.so/brew/simgrid/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, hpc, mpi, science. - [opencoarrays](https://pkg.so/brew/opencoarrays/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, hpc, mpi, science. - [lammps](https://pkg.so/brew/lammps/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, mpi, science. - [gromacs](https://pkg.so/brew/gromacs/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, hpc, science. - [nwchem](https://pkg.so/brew/nwchem/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, hpc, science. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
