MPI_SYSX
Submitting C++ MPI Programs to System X

MPI_SYSX is a directory which contains some examples of PBS scripts used on SYSTEM X in order to submit and run C++ programs that use MPI, the Message Passing Interface.

Examples and Tests:

BONES passes a vector of real data from one process to another. It was used as an introductory example in an MPI workshop.

• bones.C, the source code;
• bones.sh, a PBS command file to run the compiled program on System X.
• bones_output.txt, the output file;

BUFFON_LAPLACE demonstrates how parallel Monte Carlo processes can set up distinct random number streams.

• buffon_laplace.C, the source code;
• buffon_laplace.sh, a PBS command file to run the compiled program on System X.
• buffon_laplace_output.txt, the output file;

DAY1_EX3 works out exercise #3 assigned after day 1 of a workshop on MPI. The instructions were to have process 1 generate some integers, send them to process 3 which used some of those values to generate some real numbers which were then sent back to process 1.

• day1_ex3.C, the source code;
• day1_ex3.sh, a PBS command file to run the compiled program on System X.
• day1_ex3_output.txt, the output file;

HELLO simply prints out "Hello, world!" from each MPI process.

• hello.C, the source code;
• hello.sh, a PBS command file to run the compiled program on System X.
• hello_output.txt, the output file;

INTERVALS estimates an integral by dividing an interval into subintervals, and having the servant processes estimate the integral over each subinterval.

• intervals.C, the source code;
• intervals.sh, a PBS command file to run the compiled program on System X.
