The maximum subarray problem consists of found the subarray that has the maximum summation inside an array.
Suppose I have A = [-2,1,-3,4,-1,2,1-5,4], then the maximum subarray is [4,-1,2,1], wich summation is 6.
The code bellow is the sequential answer for the max subarray problem
#include<iostream>
#include<climits>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int a[] = {-2, -3, 4, -1, -2, 1, 5, -3};
int size = sizeof(a)/sizeof(a[0]);
int max_so_far = INT_MIN, max_ending_here = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
max_ending_here = max_ending_here + a[i];
if (max_so_far < max_ending_here)
max_so_far = max_ending_here;
if (max_ending_here < 0)
max_ending_here = 0;
}
cout << "Maximum contiguous sum is " << max_so_far;
return 0;
}
How can I parallelize this code using MPI?
Thanks for any help!
