  1. Parallel Computing Using MPI • Parallel Computing • MPI • CS Lab setup • Simple MPI program • MPI data type and user defined MPI data types

  2. Parallel Computing • Traditional computing is sequential. Only one instruction can be executed at any given moment in time • Parallel computing uses multiple computers (or processors on the same machine) to execute multiple instructions simultaneously.

  3. Parallel Computing • Motivations • Solve a problem more quickly • Solve very large problems (scalability issue) • Save money by using a cluster of cheap computers instead of a supercomputer

  4. Parallel Computing • Cluster Computing: Multiple independent computers combined into a parallel computing unit • Hardware readily available • Message exchanges between nodes of the cluster are through message passing • 2 free message passing software • MPI: Message Passing Interface • PVM: Parallel Virtual Machine

  5. MPI • Provides library functions for passing messages in a parallel environment • Fortran, C and C++ programs are written as normal and then linked against the MPI library

  6. MPI • 2 software packages that support MPI for parallel computing • MPICH - free portable version of MPI • MPICH2 - all new implementation of MPI • lam-mpi – another implementation of MPI

  7. CS Lab Setup • Lazar lab is setup with MPICH so each LINUX machine can be used as a node in a parallel computing cluster
