Personally, I find openMosix to be very useful for parallel programming. I find it much easier to pipe() and fork() than to muck about with MPI or PVM. For instance, open a pipe and fork a buch of workers, then use read(2) and write(2) to send your data. Of course, this is just my opinion and it doesn't really work if there is a ton of data to be transfered (but then neither does MPI). -- ---------------------------- | Josh Lauricha | | laurichj@bioinfo.ucr.edu | | Bioinformatics, UCR | |--------------------------|
