Hello, Mark,

Yes, you can install the latest mpich (http://www.mpich.org/downloads/) and run it on your laptop.

Do a google search, there are many MPI tutorials. I used this one when I started to learn MPI, https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/mpi/

Hello from Greece!
Being new in this field, what would be a good starting point to master MPI and parallel programming in general? First of i don't have a cluster, so all the computations are going to happen to a modern day linux laptop.
However if i get familiar with MPI, i will have the chance to work with a cluster remotely on some text retrieval algorithms (yea right :P) for my bachelor thesis.
So, looking for starting points and speed learning about MPI (and parallel programming) in general.
Any tips and advices are welcome.Thank you :)
