I replied in the GSoC thread, but this is a better thread to have this discussion in. Here's what I said:
Thanks to Amit's recent work on MPI.jl and ClusterManager.jl, we now have the ability to run MPI libraries and Julia's parallel libraries in the same program. Until recently, one could only have one of them, but not both simultaneously. I think this is important for the development of parallel libraries in Julia, where we can use existing MPI libraries where they exist and write new ones as needed. PetSc is huge - but we can start chipping away at it now. -viral On Tuesday, January 20, 2015 at 5:15:46 AM UTC+5:30, Eka Palamadai wrote: > > Just wanted to check if any work has been done on integrating PetSc into > Julia? > I notice Stevenj has done some work on this, and there was some discussion > about a student working on this last year as part of the google project. > Would appreciate any updates. > > Thanks, > Eka >
