well, no and yes. IPython is more general. It starts a controller and engines, those engines can use MPI via mpi4py and if openmpi (or another mpi lib) is installed. So, you can do parallelization without mpi just using ipython's capabilities (scatter/gather and task-oriented parallelziation) or mpi or a mix of both. things to read: overview, introduction, multi engine client and task client: http://ipython.scipy.org/doc/manual/html/parallel/index.html mpi topic: http://ipython.scipy.org/doc/manual/html/parallel/parallel_mpi.html H -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
