18.2 Message passing interface (MPI)

Programming for several cores or on a computer cluster with distributed memory requires special techniques. We describe here message passing and related tools standardized by the MPI standard. These tools are similar in different programming languages, such as C, C++, and FORTRAN, and are realized in Python by the module mpi4py.
