title: MPI Reading from a text file
body: <p>I am learning to program in MPI and I came across this question. Lets say I have a .txt file with 100,000 rows/lines, how do I chunk them for processing by 4 processors? i.e. I want to let processor 0 take care of the processing for lines 0-25000, processor 1 to take care of 25001-50000 and so on. I did some searching and did came across MPI_File_seek but I am not sure can it work on .txt and supports fscanf afterwards.</p>
