Message Passing Interface

The Message Passing Interface (MPI) is a standard used in computer programming to allow multiple computers or processes to communicate and work together on complex tasks, particularly in high-performance computing. It helps coordinate operations by sending messages between different parts of a program, enabling them to share data and synchronize their actions. This is essential in scenarios such as scientific simulations or data analysis, where large computations are divided among several machines to enhance efficiency and speed. Essentially, MPI acts as a set of rules for effective teamwork among computers.
