.br
mpbi-mpi \- parallel (MPI) version of mpbi
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B mpb-mpi
and
.B mpbi-mpi
commands.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
because the original programs don't have a manual page.
.PP
.B mpb-mpi
is a version of
.B mpb
built with MPI support through the mpich implementation. It can be run over a computer cluster to achieve distributed computations.
.PP
.B mpbi-mpi
is equivalent to

but requires, like
.BR mpbi ,
photonic structures respecting inversion symmetry.
.SH SEE ALSO
