parallel (MPI) version of mpb mpbi-mpi - parallel (MPI) version of mpbi

## NAME

mpb-mpi - parallel (MPI) version of mpb\
 mpbi-mpi - parallel (MPI) version of mpbi

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **mpb-mpi** and **mpbi-mpi** commands. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original programs don't have a manual page.

**mpb-mpi** is a version of **mpb** built with MPI support through the mpich implementation. It can be run over a computer cluster to achieve distributed computations.

**mpbi-mpi** is equivalent to **mpb-mpi** but requires, like **mpbi**, photonic structures respecting inversion symmetry.

## SEE ALSO
