The processor in modern PCs has multiple cores. Earlier PC models had two cores, but later PCs typically have four cores, each running at GHz speeds, thus making it possible for you to test/debug the same MPI programs you will be running on your eight-node, 32-core Pi supercomputer. Initially, you will utilize the CPU in your main PC as a one node supercomputer. This step will give you a quick introduction to and demonstration of the MPI protocol. Incidentally, the author's PC has an i7, four-core processor, each core running at 4 GHz, and can run two processing threads per physical core. The initial MPI runs included in this book were done using this 4 GHz machine.

Overview of this book
Author Carlos R. Morrison (Staff Scientist, NASA) will empower the uninitiated reader to quickly assemble and operate a Pi3 supercomputer in the shortest possible time. The lifeblood of a supercomputer, the MPI code, is introduced early, and sample MPI code provides additional practice opportunities for you to test the effectiveness of your creation. You will learn how to configure various nodes and switches so that they can effectively communicate with each other. By the end of this book, you will have successfully built a supercomputer and the various applications related to it.
