A while ago, (August of last year I think), there was talk about a MPI wrapper for D. Has there been any update on that?
I was considering writing one, but I wanted it to be high-level and easy-to-use. I ended up not doing it, initially because I was waiting for serialization to be added to Phobos (which I thought was imminent) and then because I got busy with unrelated things.
I think that a nice high-level MPI wrapper for D should be tightly integrated into a serialization library to encapsulate the low-level details of passing non-trivial data structures across nodes. I doubt I'll get around to implementing it when serialization is added, though, because I'm probably past the MPI-using stage of my life (my Ph.D. research is basically finished, I'm just revising my dissertation and preparing to defend) so I wouldn't get to eat my own dogfood.
