[Introduction] Exercise 2 : Compute PI

This material is part of the course Practical Introduction to Parallel Programming and meant for educational purposes only.

Background

The area of a circle of radius \(R\) is \(\pi R^2\), the area of a square with side length \(2R\) is \(4R^2\). If the circle is inscribed inside the square then the ratio of both areas is \(\pi/4\).

Monte Carlo method

If we pick \(N\) points at random inside the square and count the number of points that are inside the circle (\(M\)) then we can compute the approximation \(\pi\approx 4M/N\).

Questão 2: Number of MPI processes

Specify the number of MPI processes (1-64) that should be used for running your program (mpirun -np <nproc>)

Questão 3: Command Line Argument

Specify the command line arguments that should be passed to your program when it is run. Arguments must be given in quotes and separated by commas. Leave this filed empty if you do not want to specify command line arguments.

Example: "1","int","arg=2" is interpreted as three arguments 1, int, and arg=2.
