1. Introduction -- 2. Getting started with MPI-2 -- 3. Parallel I/O -- 4. Understanding synchronization -- 5. Itroduction to remote memory operations -- 6. Advanced remote memory access -- 7. Dynamic process management -- 8. Using MPI eith threads -- 9. Advanced features -- 10. Conclusions.

Using MPI is a completely up-to-date version of the authors' 1994 introduction to the core functions of MPI. It adds material on the new C++ and Fortran 90 bindings for MPI throughout the book. It contains greater discussion of datatype extents, the most frequently misunderstood feature of MPI-1, as well as material on the new extensions to basic MPI functionality added by the MPI-2 Forum in the area of MPI datatypes and collective operations. Using MPI-2 covers the new extensions to basic MPI. These include parallel I/O, remote memory access operations, and dynamic process management. The volume also includes material on tuning MPI applications for high performance on modern MPI implementations.
