Aos 4 (Mpi)

MPI allows processes to communicate and work in parallel by passing messages. A communicator defines a group of processes that can communicate by rank. Communication is built on send and receive operations between processes, where a process can send a message to another by providing its rank and a unique tag. The steps to set up MPI include: installing MPICH2 on master and client systems, configuring the host file, creating a shared user, setting up SSH keys for passwordless login, exporting a shared directory via NFS, and running an MPI program on multiple cores.

MPI: Message Passing Interface

Application passes messages between processes in order to perform a task and


hence by achieving communication we achieve parallel computing.
ex: Master processes can pass message to slave process for sorting. and slave
processes in return will send sorted elements.
A communicator defines a group of processes that have the ability to
communicate with one another. In this group of processes, each is assigned a
unique rank, and they explicitly communicate with one another by their ranks.
The foundation of communication is built upon send and receive operations
among processes. A process may send a message to another process by
providing the rank of the process and a unique tag to identify the message.

Step1: Installing MPICH2:

Installing MPICH2 on master


Installing MPICH2 on client side
Step 2: Configure host file on both of the systems
Step 3 : Create and login with new user

Step 4:Setting up SSH (KEY)


Step 5: Setting up NFS
You share a directory via NFS in master which the client mounts to exchange
data.
Install the required packages by
$ sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
Now, (assuming you are still logged into mpiuser), let’s create a folder by the
name cloud that we will share across in the network.
$ mkdir cloud
To export the cloud directory, you create an entry in /etc/exports
Step 6: Running MPI program
On Multiple cores:
