I have machine with AMD six core cpu.
I'm trying to get into parallel computing using openMPI.
Since I have only one cpu, I realize it would be best for me to use each core as a node.
Could anyone tell me how I can (or supposed to) configure each core as a node please?
I'm still a newbie in using Linux and parallel computing... so detailed information would be greatly appreciated...

I downloaded opempi, openmpi-devel, mpich2 and mpich2-devel and when I do

module avail openmpi

it says

openmpi-x86_64

Thank you
