Abstract

This introduction to the Message-Passing Interface (MPI) course provides an overview of the MPI standard with a view to its application to scientific/engineering problems. Throughout the course, the basic concepts behind the message-passing paradigm are discussed together with code examples. Readers will also find practical excercises at the end of each section, where they will have the opportunity to explore motivational examples in C or Fortran.
