The motivation of this work is that BioFVM (http://BioFVM.MathCancer.org) supports only on-node shared memory parallelism using OpenMP. We have developed BioFVM_X as it adds MPI to BioFVM to parallelize the core kernels of BioFVM using MPI. Some core kernels are: Domain Partitioning, Basic Agent Generation, Gaussian Profile building, File Writing, Direct Solver (Thomas' algorithm). Most of the MPI-based parallel functions are made available in BioFVM_parallel.cpp.
