so I can not base my article on the execution time calculation in my own machine because I did not have a parallel machine? 2015-03-04 0:43 GMT+01:00 Junchao Zhang <[email protected]>:

Yes. I believe your i5 machine has least two cores. So it is indeed a parallel machine. You should observe some speedup when you run program with two MPI processes.

I use the MPICH2 to parallelize my algorithm on an i5 machine, is the time calculated in this type of machinery is the time actually consumed or estimated in my programe? I ask this question because someone told me that if you do not work on a parallel machine then even if you calculate the execution time in your parallel algorithm and you compare it with the algorithm that you do not use parallelism is not correct.effectively I tried to compare the execution time of both programs but really I find that there's a accelerartion when I use the parallelism
