MPI is _the_ standard for passing data between different CPUs and used to write parallel programs on clusters and supercomputers. Its a rather low-level C library and you need to spend some time learning it if you want to use it effectively.
Your random assembly of lab PCs is probably not terribly useful as HPC cluster because the networking is likely to suck, unless the workload is trivially parallel. Can your switch handle 25 gigabit-ethernet connections at full speed? -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
