You know, we wouldn't necessarily have to give up M->N restart with this feature. If N>M, processors M through N-1 twiddle their thumbs until the next repartitioning (which we will eventually be able to do with ParallelMesh, I swear), and if M>N, processor i also loads files i+N, i+2*N, etc. until there's nothing left to load. That would be more than 5 lines of code, but we could add those 5 lines now and then extend the capability later without changing the API. --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
