Nice summary!

Agreed.  Can anyone suggest changes to my article that would obviate the need for a second explanation?

A backgrounder on Beowulf clusters, parallel programming, and high performance computing can frame Boost.MPI and MPI better. It's sad that not everyone knows how to program clusters of workstations to turn them into parallel supercomputers. An article like this is a good way of introducing the "art" of massively parallel computing and the importance of high performance computing at large. That would be my suggestion at least as a one-time heavy user of MPI and later on Boost.MPI to solve large problems. -- Dean Michael Berris deanberris.com
