Abstract
This chapter explains the basics of parallel programming and MPI (Message Passing Interface). To understand MPI, parallel computer architectures and parallel programing models are explained in the first chapter. APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) of MPI are shown with examples of MPI programming. Several key topics, such as data distribution methods and communication algorithms for MPI programming are also explained.

Notes
- 1.
On the other hand, using large memory is another reason to parallelize a program by using distributed memory machines.
- 2.
But the communication can be parallelized with respect to algorithm. Explanation of this kind of parallelization will be done in this chapter.
