AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenges of coding with MPI on a Mac, particularly for users unfamiliar with the operating system. The user is seeking step-by-step instructions for installing MPICH and the necessary compilers, as well as recommendations for an IDE that supports running and debugging code. Xcode is mentioned as the most integrated programming environment available on Macs, but the user has encountered difficulties in getting it to compile MPI. The conversation highlights the need for clear guidance on setting up a development environment for MPI on macOS.

Hi,

I've recently been forced to use a Mac, which I'm not at all familiar with, and I'm trying to do some coding with MPI. However, it's ending up that I'm spending all my time trying to get even the simplest "Hello World" program to work on this bloody machine and I haven't even started my actual coding. I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could find (or could just tell me) a step-by-step set of instructions as to how I can install something like MPICH on a mac, with the proper compilers and such, and tell me an IDE I can use where I can actually run and debug code (although, at this point, I think that may be asking too much). Any help is greatly appreciated.

maverick, have you tried the Xcode suite and Developer Tools? It is the most recommended and integrated programming environment that comes with all Mac computers. If you're using OS X it's on one of your install DVDs.
 
I'd be perfectly fine with Xcode but I can't get it to compile MPI.
 

Thread 'Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86'

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...

Thread 'Learning data structures and algorithms in different programming languages'

I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
