I have a program that gives me estimation of pi, and time elapsed depends on my input numbers.
Can someone please tell me how to compile this? I have the code but it's mystery how to compile and r
un it...

The instructions to compile is at the very top:

Compiler:
mpicc -g -Wall -o name name.c
mpirun -np 4 name

mpicc is the compiler
-g -Wall are additional options to pass to the compiler
-o name is the output executable file called "name"
name.c is the name of your source file

mpirun appears to be the program that runs your program "name" in a special way
