multitask_mpi, a FORTRAN90 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.
