multitask_mpi, a C++ code which demonstrates how to "multitask", that is, to execute several unrelated and distinct tasks simultaneously, using MPI for parallel execution.
In this example, there is a "master" process, identified as process 0, and two worker processes, 1 and 2. Process 0 does nothing but choose the input for the worker processes, transmit it, and wait for the computed results to be returned. The programs executed by process 1 and by process 2 are quite different.
While the typical MPI model has all the worker processes executing the same program, this example shows that that is not necessary.
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.
