That would definitely work. > We don't need to over think this... we are sending some strings > across the wire once per simulation...... Once per repartitioning, at most. But yeah, I'm not overthinking this because infrequently synchronizing a few strings is still hard; rather because taking time to overthink Parallel:: stuff has paid off so well for me in the past. There's a bunch of code in the ParallelMesh synchronization, in one of our apps, and even a bit in Parallel:: itself that I think I could greatly simplify with a little of this refactoring. --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
