hello_mpi


hello_mpi, a C++ code which prints out "Hello, World!", while invoking the MPI parallel programming system.

If you're just trying to learn MPI, or learning how to use MPI on a different computer system, or in batch mode, it's helpful if you start with a very simple program with a tiny amount of output that should print immediately if things are working well.

The latest versions of MPI no longer support the special C++ MPI bindings, so the examples given here have reverted to using the C MPI bindings.
