it looks to me like it wouldn't work across different architectures.
is that a correct reading? maybe this is a usual restriction in
this kind of library?
Quite right - homogeneous architectures only. Attempting to cope
with heterogeneity accounts for some of the complexity (and inefficiency)
of some other libraries. I would guess that any decently scalable
parallel machine will be single-architecture (but I haven't surveyed
the field lately).
the roadrunner.
i don't know if it's decently scalable though :)
