MessagePassingInterface
Last edit February 26, 2011
MessagePassingInterface
(MPI) is a standard for message passing between tasks running on one or more processors. See
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/
for more information. There are several implementations of this standard even for e.g. Linux. There are language implementations for the
CeeLanguage
,
FortranLanguage
and
RubyLanguage
(MPI Ruby at
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/mpi_ruby/
).
There is an object oriented
CeePlusPlus
binding - see
