Here are some questions that I would love to see answered: * OpenMP vs MPI: which one would be better for SAGE and why? * Is there a clear winner in the python world for parallel applications? googling for either "open mp python" or "mpi python" shows several modules. * Are there any plans to rewrite basic algorithms so that they are parallel-friendly? * Does anyone know of computer algebra systems that use that take advantage of more thant 1 CPU? * How much of a issue is thread-safety in current libraries that SAGE uses? Are there ways around it? didier --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
