The MINUIT is a well-known package performing minimization and analysis of the shape of a multi-parameter function, created by F.James (CERN). It is intended to be used on Chisquare or likelihood functions for fitting data and finding parameter errors and correlations.

MINUIT was selected to investigate the problems around large computational programs parallelization. As an example a parallel version of MINUIT testing on multiprocessor system is introduced. The main result is the only one source working as whith MPI as well as whithout MPI.

Sources and detailed description (in Russian, format .pdf) are submitted.


The investigation has been performed at the Laboratory of Information Technologies JINR and supported by the RFBR grant 03-07-90347.
