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.
