Lab 7 - MPI programming

Due: week 13week 12.

Goal

The goal of this lab is to implement a distributed algorithm using MPI.

Requirement

Perform the multiplication of 2 polynomials, by distributing computation across several nodes using MPI. Use both the regular O(n²) algorithm and the Karatsuba algorithm. Compare the performance with the "regular" CPU implementation from lab 5.

The documentation will describe:

• the algorithms,
• the distribution and communication,
• the performance measurements

Bonus: do the same for the multiplication of big numbers.
