 ===== Message Passing Interface (MPI)  ===== ===== Message Passing Interface (MPI)  =====
 Message Passing Interface (MPI) is a standard describing the message exchange on distributed computing systems. Generally, at the beginning of an MPI-application several communicating processes are started in parallel. All processes work on the same problem and exchange data between each other. Message Passing Interface (MPI) is a standard describing the message exchange on distributed computing systems.

-Most common languages to work with MPI are Fortran, C, or C++. However, there are also bindings to other languages, e.g. Perl, Python, R, Ruby, Java, or CL. +Most common languages to work with MPI are **Fortran****C**, or **C++**.

-===== Other parallel environments/implementations =====+ 
 +The parallel version of **Rstat** is [[rstat&#example|Rmpi]] which is installed on VSC-3 and VSC-4. 
 + 
 +[[http://de.mathworks.com/help/distcomp|Matlab]] provides a parallel computing toolbox using MPI and PVM.  
 + 
 +Grid computing in [[http://www.maplesoft.com/support/help/Maple/view.aspx?path=Grid/Launch|Maple]] also supports the MPI protocol. 
 + 
 +===== Open Multi-Processing (Open MP) ====
 +Open MP supports multi-platform shared memory multiprocessing programming in C, C++, and Fortran, providing compiler directives, library routines, and environment variables influencing run-time behavior. 
 + 
 +The code consists of serial and parallel sections. At the beginning, there is one serial thread which calls several parallel threads within a parallel section. 
 +Contrary to MPI, the threads have access to the same memory and therefore no message passing between the threads is necessary.
