can aircrack run on MPI?

Nothing about it on aircracks site was wondering if it works, and if anyone has tried it?

What exactly is MPI that you are referring about?

Aircrack uses mutli threads, but it doesn't use mutli cores.

Thanks for the reply compaq

Message Passing Interface its used for building clusters for high performance computing. I read some where they were going to include boot pxe and open-mpi or mpich in BT4! You can also do this with slax models in BT3 I believe. You should check it out.

I don't see any MPI code in the source.

From what I understand MPI code isn't easy to write, but it's definitely worthwhile for someone with a large distributed memory system. If you find an MPI version of aircrack, let us know.

I think on an shared memory machine the OS decides which threads to run on which cores. So if your code properly is multithreaded it should run on all available cores.
