Parallel Computing with MPI - Roundup

Here's a roundup of the topics discussed on parallel computing with MPI. This was illustrated using the 2D heat equation, MPICH2, and Microsoft Visual Studio.

1. Introducing the Heat Equation
2. Discretization of the Heat Equation
3. Stability Analysis and the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy Criterion
4. Programming the Heat Equation in C using Visual Studio
5. MPICH2 and Visual Studio
6. Parallel Computing in a Nutshell
7. Measuring Parallel Performance
8. Essential Ingredients of Message Passing
   
9. MPI Warmup
   
10. Parallelizing the Heat Equation (2 or 3 posts - most likely a video tutorial)
