[Caml-list] true parallelism / threads

2009-02-20 Thread Atmam Ta
Hi, I am trying to evaluate ocaml for a project involving large scale numerical calculations. We would need parallel processing, i.e. a library that distributes jobs accross multiple processors within a machine and accross multiple PCs. Speed and easy programability are important. I have tried to

Atmam, I've had some luck using OCaml with MPI (using the OCamlMPI library at http://caml.inria.fr/cgi-bin/hump.en.cgi?contrib=401 ). That may not satisfy your needs as far as multi-core goes, but perhaps it will. I can't speak to the speed of the interface (my operations were compute-bound on
