​​MPI_Type_indexed would be useful. Any pointers to material (apart from the MPI Standard)? Any books recommended? Also for MPI_Type_struct.
​​The “Using Advanced MPI” book (below) is a good reference for recent features of MPI but you may also like to look at previous versions for older features of MPI, e.g.:
​​https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=3I9kBQAAQBAJ
​​
​​https://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Using_Advanced_MPI.html?id=GY5IBQAAQBAJ - is this a good book?
​​Yes, this is a good reference/teaching book, written by the MPI Forum members that produced the recent versions of the MPI Standard.
​​
​​Could also mention C++ boost::multi_array (and Eigen) for contiguous N-dimensional array access from C++, when using the C MPI interface.
​​Agreed, this is a good idea - I will add this to the course slides for future presentations. Thanks!
