Ray is a community project although I am the main developer / maintainer.

I am defending my thesis in April and starting an appointment at Argonne also in April 2014.

Obviously Ray is a never-ending project. You can find "issues" on github at https://github.com/sebhtml/ray/issues.

The project has some relations with the industry:


So far, Cray, Inc. has worked with us for testing Ray on Cray hardware.

I also was a beta user on SOSCIP's IBM Blue Gene/Q to test Ray to assemble a tree genome (white spruce).

SciNet -> http://www.scinethpc.ca/

I never tested myself, but on the mailing list people use it.

Ray is compliant with the MPI standard ( http://www.mpi-forum.org/ ). Since Intel MPI is derived from MPICH and that
MPICH is compliant with the MPI standard, then Ray should work with Intel MPI.
