The Message Passing Interface (MPI)-based parallel processing mode of
Abaqus can be used for parallel execution on multiple processors of a
single machine (shared memory parallel or SMP) or on multiple machines
(distributed memory parallel or DMP). This parallel processing mode is
the default where it is available. Appropriate versions of MPI need to
be installed in order to make use of this parallel processing mode in
Abaqus. Our System Configuration Analysis tool can be used to identify
what version of MPI, if any is installed on your system.
