MPI Profiling and Tracing
For HPC, it’s appropriate to discuss how to profile and trace MPI (Message-Passing Interface) applications. A number of MPI profiling tools are available

Applying these lessons to HPC, you might ask, “how do I tinker with HPC?” The answer is far from simple. In terms of hardware, a few PCs, an Ethernet switch, and MPI get you a small cluster; or, a video card
