Using MPI: Portable Parallel Programming with the Message-Passing Interface (Scientific and Engineering Computation)

A tutorial on how to use Message-Passing Interface (MPI), the standard for communication subroutine libraries, to write parallel programs, particularly for large-scale applications. Covers background and basic concepts, MPI in C, using communicators, the Poisson problem, scalability, message passing, parallel libraries, and parallel I/O. Other topics include portability among MPP systems, use of MPI on workstation networks, and converting existing codes to MPI. Appendices list MPE multiprocessing environment functions.
