This depends on your application and how easy it can be adopted to split the problem into smaller parts. It could also be the case, that you want to stay on one node only to use additional cores and could parallelize it better by using OpenMP, where all threads operate on the same memory area on a single node. http://openmp.org/wp/ It's built into many compilers by default nowadays. In addition to the online courses Jeff mentioned there are several books available like Parallel Programming with MPI by Peter Pacheco (although it covers only MPI-1 due to its age http://www.cs.usfca.edu/~peter/ppmpi/), Parallel Programming in C with MPI and OpenMP by Michael Quinn. -- Reuti > best wishes to you & good luck > yours alex > > alexalex43210 > > From: Brad Benton > Date: 2012-02-15 09:48 > To: announce > Subject: [Open MPI Announce] Open MPI v1.4.5 released > The Open MPI Team, representing a consortium of research, academic, and > industry partners, is pleased to announce the release of Open MPI version > 1.4.5.
