This repository contains a parallel computing solution for the n-queens problem using brute force and OpenMPI, implemented as part of the final assignment for my university course in Parallel Computing.

Ensure you have the following installed on your local machine:

• OpenMPI
• GCC

First, you'll need to compile the program using the command below:

mpicc -o nqueens ./nqueens.c -lm

After that, you can run the script with the command below:

mpirun -np <number_of_processes_to_use> nqueens <board_size>

The pdf version of the report is available on the root folder as: report.pdf
