Publisher’s description

Parallel computing frequently relies upon message passing to exchange information between computational units. In high-performance computing, the most common message passing technology is the Message Passing Interface (MPI), which is being developed in an open-source implementation supported by Cisco Systems and other vendors. This paper is an introduction to parallel computing, basic MPI concepts, and how the behavior of parallel computation applications and their communications patterns that they use may affect network design.
