Description:
Despite the rate at which computers have advanced in recent history, human imagination has advanced faster. Often greater computing power can be achieved by having multiple computers work together on a single problem. This tutorial discusses how Message Passing Interface (MPI) can be used to implement parallel programming solutions in a variety of cases.
