How to parallelize jobs?
- If you want to run your single-processor program/algorithm many times, a supercomputer will be helpful, because you will be able to run your program on several processors at the same time.
- On the other side, if you want your program to run really fast on a supercomputer, you must reprogram it to utilize several processors in the same run.
- The main programming tool to construct parallel programs is to use message passing libraries, like PVM and MPI.
