This is a DevContainer environment for Visual Studio Code, allowing automatically installing the MPI libraries and the necessary Visual Studio Code extensions to set up an MPI development environment with zero additional effort.
Follow the Getting Started instructions to configure your Visual Studio Code and Docker to use with DevContainers.
Place the .devcontainer directory in the root of your project, and the next time you load the project, Visual Studio Code will prompt to re-open the project in a container:
Note: building the container might take a few minutes until all dependencies have finished downloading.
Visual Studio Code supports Developing inside a Container - using a Docker image as a development environment. It automates the process of creating the container image, as well as installing additional required extensions into the editor.
Pressing Reopen in Container will perform the automated steps to launch the container, and set up the environment.
For more information and setup, read the official documentation: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers
To compile your MPI program, run the following command in your VS Code Terminal
mpicc -o out hello_world.cThen you can run it with 4 threads by typing
mpiexec -np 4 ./out
