Andreas Josef Reichel was born in 1982 in Munich, Bavaria, to Josef and Ursula. He went to an elementary school from 1989 to 1993 and continued with lower secondary education for 4 years and started with middle school in 1996. In 1999, he finished school as the best graduate of the year. From 2000 to 2001, he went to Fachoberschule and got his subject-linked university entrance qualification, with which he began to study Physical Technology at the University of Applied Sciences in Munich. After two semesters, he got his preliminary diploma and began with general studies of Physics at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in 2003. In 2011, he completed Dipl.-Phys. (Univ.) in experimental physics with the THz characterization of thin semiconductor films in photonics and optoelectronics. Now, he is working on his dissertation to Dr. rer. nat. on plasma etching processes for semiconductors at the Walter Schottky Institute of the Technische Universität München in Garching. In his spare time, he has been learning programming languages such as BASIC, Pascal, C/C++, x86 and x64 Assembler, as well as HTML, PHP, JavaScript, and the database system MySQL and has been programming since he was 13 years old. Since 1995, he has been an active hobby musician in different accordion ensembles and orchestras. He also loves to learn about languages and drawing, and he began practicing Chinese martial arts in 2012. He invests most of his free time in hobby electronic projects and family genealogical research. He was the co-author of Charge carrier relaxation and effective masses in silicon probed by terahertz spectroscopy, S. G. Engelbrecht, A. J. Reichel, and R. Kersting, Journal of Applied Physics.

Summary

This chapter showed you the first steps into the world of parallel computations with ScaLAPACK on a BeagleBone Black cluster by distributing a problem between four cluster nodes.

To introduce you to this technique, the predominating computer architectures were explained in the beginning of the chapter, and you were introduced to the message-passing interface OpenMPI. OpenMPI is the basis for our BeagleBone Black cluster and provides the communication layer for data transfer between the cluster nodes. The chapter continued with providing an easy guide on how to install and configure OpenMPI on your BeagleBone Black boards. The MPI part of this chapter ended with some examples of how to use the API to transfer simple integer values between the cluster nodes.

To introduce you to the mathematical computations, the chapter continued with the installation procedure for ScaLAPACK, where you learned how to download and compile free library source code. Although it is not possible to go into...
