Parallel MCMC

Parallel implementation of MCMC using MPI - coded by Hákon Jónsson, John Lees and Tobias Madsen

Code is available as C++ Under testing implementations in R and Perl do not provide speedups due to execution overheads, but are included as easier to read ‘pseudocode’ if required.

Details can be found in this draft paper: pMCMC
