<title>Description</title>
<para>A MPI interface is provided to Scilab. This interface allows high-performance Message Passing computations.</para>
<para>
Like any other MPI applications, Scilab/MPI as be started through the <literal>mpirun</literal> command usually with the argument <literal>-c</literal> to specify the number of nodes started.

<refsection>
<title>Supported datatype</title>
<para>
The Scilab MPI implementation supports the following Scilab datatypes (under the matrix or scalar form):
<simplelist type="inline">
<member>Double</member><member>Boolean</member><member>int (all)</member><member>String</member><member>Sparse</member><member>Boolean Sparse</member>
</simplelist>
For now, advanced data structures like list, tlist or mlist are not supported. Opening a new bug report to see them supported is a good way.
