Dear Phil,

thank you for quick response.

Currently, I just wanted to compare AMPI vs MPI and for that I planned 
to port several benchmarks (NPB or miniapps). I will be happy to have 
any tool which makes porting smoother.

The language is most likely Fortran. Probably also C or C++, but these 
applications are not that important.

The benchmarks do not rely on any library.

Which environment do you mean? We have SLURM at our site, if it is 
important.
