[mpich-discuss] A good starting point for programming and understanding MPI, and parallel programming in general.

[mark]

Thanks for the pointers, they are always welcomed. Speaking about MPI 
and MPICH, if i try openmpi, will it be difficult to transcribe my 
projects and learning to mpich? Are they different or completely the 
same? In my opinion is like using a different IDE for the same language, 
so the same, but i am asked to follow the mpich as for my mpi and 
parallel programming studies.
