Thanks Michael and Marco.
Conceptually what you did in the Wiki is about how far I thought it
through on my own.
I wonder if it is not better to completely drop any of the C attempts as
it does not really make sense to adapt the non-readability path followed
there. I think we all want to avoid that and that is why we are here.
Fortran is really the greatest tool for this in my opinion, but maybe a
better language to "borrow" from is ADA?
I did not look into their archives a lot but they might have solved the
same conceptual issues haunting us.
There used to be a program on the web years ago that would to some
extent parallelize a given binary, but I cannot find the link anymore.
Anyone know about it? or something similar?
I know this is "poor man's" parallel, and ridiculously inefficient, but
it sure makes computational times a bit shorter. Any bit helps.
I currently get along by just writing programs in
preprocessor-processor-collate fashion which gives me the ability to run
things massively parallel across several servers, but it gets bulky with
all the file io in between processes. Just forget about load
balancing...(dont laugh) this is a crude bash script looking ahead what
cpu resources/memory are available and schedule programs accordingly.
But, crude as it may sound, it saves me about 6x the time and works
great, but at some stage i am going to run into a brick-wall with it.

Did anyone attempt a multiprocessing compiler version of fpk yet in order to
compile for clusters and run together with a load balancing unit.
I believe some brainstorming was done to see how it could be
implemented with some compiler hints, but nothing was implemented.
The brainstorming is here : http://wiki.freepascal.org/OpenMP_support
