Chapter 9, Multithreading with Distributed Computing, takes many of the lessons learned in the preceding chapters and applies them on a multi-system, cluster-level scale. Using an OpenMPI-based example, it shows how multithreading can be done across multiple systems, such as the nodes in a comp...
The initial release of this appliance is based on the Ubuntu 9.10 release with OpenMPI and with the Eclipse CDT/PTP IDE. With the current release version, this appliance is usable as VMWare virtual machine that can be started with thefreely available VMWare Player or hosted within one of...
