Assignment 3: Due December 22, 2 pm
We continue the implementations of the Cholesky factorization.
This time we compute the factorization on a network of workstations
(NOW) on the Internet using MPI (Message Passing Interface).
One computer should have the whole matrix A at the start and
have the lower triangular factor L at the end of the computation.
The main purpose of this assignment is to let you get familiar
with message passing programming. Performance is a secondary
issue in this assignment. You may use any layout discussed
in class. You may start with a simple layout and then improve
it step by step.
A tutorial of MPI is available in our Resources.
