There was brief debate yesterday among the Pythonians in the lab as to whether the MKL operates outside of the GIL, but it was general understanding that it does. It is still unclear to me whether Python/numpy compiled with MKL would be freely re-distributable, as the MSVC version is. >Then you must use tools like the processing module, MPI, ... I have been using shared memory and numpy with good results lately on Win32 with tagged memory. http://projects.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2007-October/029505.html On *NIX, arrayfrombuffer(), mmap and MAP_SHARED, or POSH http://poshmodule.sourceforge.net/ seem like the ticket. Whatever happened to pyGA? GA http://www.emsl.pnl.gov/docs/global/ is still around. http://www.ece.lsu.edu/jxr/pohll-02/papers/jarek.pdf Best, Ray Schumacher -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
