MPI for Python (mpi4py) Description
In recent years, high-performance computing has become a more accessible resource for a greater number of researchers within the scientific community than ever before. The combination of quality open-source software and affordable hardware has significantly contributed to the widespread adoption of Beowulf class clusters and clusters of workstations. Among various parallel computational approaches, message-passing has emerged as a particularly effective model. This paradigm is particularly well-suited for distributed memory architectures and is extensively utilized in today's most demanding scientific and engineering applications related to modeling, simulation, design, and signal processing. Nonetheless, the landscape of portable message-passing parallel programming was once fraught with challenges due to the numerous incompatible options developers faced. Thankfully, this situation has dramatically improved since the MPI Forum introduced its standard specification, which has streamlined the process for developers. As a result, researchers can now focus more on their scientific inquiries rather than grappling with programming complexities.
