## The Basics of Writing MPI Programs

You should now be able to successfully compile and execute MPI programs, check the status of your MPI processes, and halt MPI programs that have gone astray. This section gives an overview of the basics of parallel programming with MPI. For a more in-depth discussion of basic and advanced constructs, see the references or look at the man pages by typing `mpiman`.
