I hate to tangent (hijack?) this subject, but I'm curious about your class
poll. Did the people who were interested in Matlab consider Octave?
Thanks!
Jeff

N.B. the recent MPI class we gave suggested that we need to re-tool it
to focus more upon Fortran than C. There was no interest in Java from
the class I polled. Some researchers want to use Matlab for their work,
but most university computing facilities are loathe to spend the money
to get site licenses for Matlab. Unfortunate, as Matlab is a very cool
tool (been playing with it first in 1988 ...) its just not fast. The
folks at Interactive Supercomputing might be able to help with this with
their compiler.
