Or fortran. The annoying thing is that Delphi didn't slip behind C so much as to be worth considering for things like matrix and mesh manipulation. Benchmark for same in managed codes are hair-raising. Matlab is fine for prototyping. Have it on my desktop, fast way to figure things out. Then you implement it in compiled code. That said though, Matlab are getting there with MPI implementation. > The point is that only a small fraction of computing is scientific > therefore the target for most dev products is commercial Sadly yes, though multimedia and gaming are also managed-code unfriendly by all accounts though don't think gaming on compute-clusters is going to take off :-) > As an aside Nicklaus Wurth had to put his profession down as 'Physicist' > as the wouldn't accept 'Computer Programmer' when he got married > How it has changed Indeed. ---------------------------------------------------------- Phil Scadden, Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences 764 Cumberland St, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin, New Zealand Ph +64 3 4799663, fax +64 3 477 5232 _______________________________________________ Offtopic mailing list [email protected] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/offtopic
