search_mpi


search_mpi, a C++ code which searches integers between A and B for a value J such that F(J) = C, using the MPI parallel programming environment.

For the particular example considered here, the solution will be F(1,674,924,981) = 45.

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.
