MPI for Python

MPI for Python (mpi4py) is a library that enables Python programs to run tasks simultaneously across multiple computers or processors. It allows for efficient parallel processing by handling communication between these tasks, making complex computations faster. Think of it as a way to coordinate many workers working together on a large problem, sharing data and results efficiently. This is especially useful in scientific research, simulations, or data analysis that require significant computational power. mpi4py leverages the Message Passing Interface (MPI), a standard protocol for parallel computation, within the Python environment.
