Message Passing Interface (MPI)

Message Passing Interface (MPI)

• In principle, a sequential algorithm is portable to any architecture supporting the sequential paradigm.

• However, programmers require more than this: they want their realisation of the algorithm in the form of a particular program to be portable - source-code portability.

• The same is true for message-passing programs and forms the motivation behind MPI.
