Hi Edward, I've been watching the hema project with some interest. I noticed on your blog that you mentioned learning of scalapack. I spent quite a bit of time this summer installing and trying to use several different parallel linear algebra packages. I thought you might also find these two packages interesting: SLEPc and PETSc are scalable libraries. SLEPc is a scalable library for eigenvalue problem computations it is built on top of PETSc. PETSc is a toolkit that allows techniques for sparse and nonsparse linear algebra operations. acts.nersc.gov/petsc www.grycap.upv.es/slepc Trilinos is another project large scale linear algebra stuff. It's made up of a bunch of packages some of which might be interesting to you. trilinos.sandia.gov None of these packages are done in a Map Reduce framework. And you might have already heard of them all. But I figured that you might be interested to learn about them. They seem to have fairly active communities of people working on them.
