MPI (Message Passing Interface)

MPI (Message Passing Interface) is a standardized way for different computers or processors to communicate and coordinate tasks in parallel computing. Think of it as a common language that allows multiple machines to send messages, share data, and work together efficiently on complex computations. MPI enables large-scale problems, like scientific simulations or data analysis, to be split into smaller parts and processed simultaneously, significantly reducing computation time. It ensures reliable communication between processors, making high-performance, distributed computing systems possible and effective.
