This guide describes the HP-MPI (version 2.2.5) implementation
of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard. The guide helps
you use HP-MPI to develop and run parallel applications.
You should already have experience developing UNIX applications.
You should also understand the basic concepts behind parallel processing,
be familiar with MPI, and with the MPI 1.2 and MPI-2 standards (MPI: A Message-Passing Interface Standard and MPI-2: Extensions to the Message-Passing Interface,
respectively).
You can access HTML versions of the MPI 1.2 and 2 standards
at
http://www.mpi-forum.org. This
guide supplements the material in the MPI standards and MPI:
The Complete Reference.
Some sections in this book contain command line examples used
to demonstrate HP-MPI concepts. These examples use the /bin/csh
syntax for illustration purposes.
