Running MPI Analysis

MPI analysis scans a source file and identifies references to the MPI API. The references, or artifacts, are then outlined in the workspace. Currently MPI Analysis only works for C and C++ source files.

1. To run the MPI Analysis, select the source file from your project in the left hand menu
   
2. Go to MPI Artifacts → Run MPI Analysis
   
3. After running the MPI analysis, you can hover over the artifacts to get more information about them (name, prototype, description, etc)
   

Content Assistance

Another benefit to running MPI analysis is Content Assistance. This provides drop-down API's useful for code completion or searching the MPI API on the fly. To access content assistance:

1. Type “MPI_In” a C/C++ source file and press Ctrl+Space (meaning ctrl and space at the same time).
2. A drop-down list should appear with suggestions for completing the line of code. Selecting an entry will fill in the prototype or variable you selected from the drop-down list at the cursor point.

Clearing MPI Artifact Markers

1. To clear the MPI artifact markers, select the source file from the project in the left hand menu
   
2. Go to MPI Artifacts → Clear MPI Artifact Markers
