Re: IDL and MPI

[Nathaniel Livesey <livesey(at)mls.jpl.nasa.gov>]

Ah a like mind!

   I have written a set of IDL wrappers for PVM3.  I considered posting to
this group and the pvm group to say I had done so, but decided people would
just think I must be mad, and should be using Fortran or whatever (which
I know I should, but I guess I'm lazy and too used to IDL.)

   As well as wrapping the PVM calls, I also wrote a higher level
`SendIDLVariable' routine which decomposes any IDL variable (structures,
nested structures etc.) and sends it to another IDL process by PVM.  If
people are interested I could knock these routines into shape and send them
out.

   I've not looked into MPI, though I may do so in the future.

Feel free to contact me if you want these.
