Introduction to MPI Tutorial.

This is a basic introduction to the MPI (Message Passing Interface) framework. It was designed for work on the SCC cluster.

Getting Started

  1. Login in to the tutorial room desktop. You can use your own laptop so long as you are familiar with logging into the cluster.
  2. Use MobaXterm to login to the cluster. If you need a login account, see the board for instructions. Here's an example:
    % ssh -X tuta1@scc1.bu.edu
    tuta1@scc1.bu.edu's password:
    Last login: Tue Sep  8 13:22:52 2015 from library-dhcp-134-77.bumc.bu.edu

  3. Choose a location where you'd like to do your work. If you're using a tutorial account, the home directory is fine.
  4. Clone the tutorial content:
    % git clone /project/scv/examples/mpi/tutorials/introduction/
    Initialized empty Git repository in /usr4/tutorial/tuta1/introduction/.git/
  5. Decide which language you will use for the examples (F77, C, C++ and Python).
  6. Navigate to the code examples (modify for your choice):
    % cd introduction/intro/basic/
    % ls
    C  C++  F77  python
    % cd C++
