Topics for Discussion

  • Star-P model: provide a networked remote engine that does a few BASIC BUILDING BLOCKS in parallel over the network and does them VERY well. And that's it. All code blocks.
  • Interactive parallel computation -- Adding one high-latency extra clever node to the cluster -- YOU!
  • Interactive parallel supercomputing -- not a paradox.
  • serial; task parallel; data parallel
  • 2-core -- is it worth
  • task farming: will it be the first large usage.
  • (L)GPL versus BSD - A summary of this discussion on the scipy list:

  • OpenMP -- why not discussed much here.
  • How to USE pthreads???
    • - job queue - sleep/wake - when to use
  • C versus C++: why? which?
  • benchmark...
  • boinc -- can it be used???
  • dsage compared to ipython
  • security -- task farming and malicious vandals
