Hello Benton,
  Thanks for your notice.
 
  But I am a novice for the parallel computation, I often use Fortran to compile my program, now I want to use the Parallel, can you give me some help how to begin?
  PS: I learned about OPEN MPI is the choice for my question solution. am I right?
 
best wishes to you & good luck
yours alex
