What is MPP?
Massively parallel processing, or MPP, is the structured and highly coordinated processing of a single program by more than one processor. Each of the processors involved in the operation focus on different aspects of the program, and make use of separate memory and operations systems. The processors interact with one another by making use of messaging software that is configured to allow the processors to remain in contact even as each processor unit works on the assigned aspect of the overall program. Any number of processors can be utilized as part of massively parallel processing. In fact, it is not unusual for more than two hundred processors to work on the same program at the same time. Depending on the complexity of the application, the addition of more processors can greatly enhance the speed with which the program is assimilated and put to use. Typically, the number of multiple processors that will be employed for the application will depend on both the nature of the program a
MPP offers members of FHLBI an attractively priced alternative to other secondary market sales. With MPP, our members work with their local Federal Home Loan Bank rather than with a nationwide company. This provides the personal service that is helpful when selling loans, whether the member is a first-time seller or an experienced seller easing into a new program.
