Summary

This course has hopefully introduced the topic of MPI and its features. There is however many aspects not coverred such as:

• dynamic process management
• one-sided communication
• persistent communications

As mentioned in the introduction, MPI is a large standard but to get useful work done it only requires a small subset of calls. Just be aware of the whole range of features in case its useful in your application.

Key Points

• MPI is supported in C, Fortran and therefore can be called from many other languages including Python.

• Just need to know the translation to the other language.
