The Project
You are to do the n-body problem of project 2 again, this time using
the MPI message passing library. Your project should work for any
number of processors greater than 2, and for any number of bodies
greater than the number of processors.
You can either use the image server as in Project 1, the X display
library that comes with MPI, or your own display routines. Test data is available in a tar file which
includes input and output for one dT step of 100, 4096, 8192, and
16384 body problems, generated using dT=1 and G=1.
