There are several standard, cross platform ways to create high performance, multithreaded programs. There are no standard ways to spawn threads with the C++ language, which means that sometimes we have to resort to using compiler-specific methods to create threads for our programs. This tutorial will be focused on how to easily create work threads for your windows, or WIN32, program using Microsoft Visual Studio. Continue reading ‘Writing multithreaded programs for Windows’ »

Until now, we have only talked about synchronous, blocking communications in MPI. This tutorial will focus on Asynchronous, non-blocking communication with MPI. Asynchronous communication is often the key to achieving high performance computing with MPI applications. Using asynchronous communication has several advantages.

In our previous tutorial, Thread Communication with MPI, we covered the basics of how to send data between threads. However, in the previous tutorial, only integers were sent. However, sometimes large amounts of data need to be sent between threads.
