MPI for Python (mpi4py) Description
High performance computing has become a more affordable resource for researchers in the scientific community over the past years. The popularity of clusters of workstations and clusters of Beowulf classes has been strongly influenced by the combination of high quality open-source software and cheap hardware. Message-passing is one of the most effective parallel computational models. This paradigm is especially suited for distributed memory architectures. It is used in today’s most complex engineering and scientific applications related to modeling, simulation and design. Because of the incompatible options developers had to choose from, portable message-passing parallel programming used to be a nightmare. This situation has changed significantly since the MPI Forum published its standard specification.
