We have also done some work with BSP in the past (actually together with Konrad). It's a great model, and quite comfortable to work with. Also, with Konrads implementations it was very efficient at sending Numeric arrays around. But the main problem with BSP is that it is not very much used in th

We looked at the BSP model at various points in implementing the parallel IPython stuff. While I wouldn't say that IPython uses a BSP model, there are some similarities. But in the broader realm of scientific computing, BSP has never really caught on like MPI has - in spite of having some nice id

Hi, What is the general feeling towards BSP on this list !? I remeber Konrad Hinsen advertising it on the SciPy workshop '03 . It is supposed to be much simpler to use than MPI, yet still powerful and flexible enough for most all applications. It is part of Konrad's ScientificPython ( != SciPy )

If you want to use PyMPI or PyPar, I'm writing a series of tutorials on how to get them running on Amazon EC2, http://www.datawrangling.com/on-demand-mpi-cluster-with-python-and-ec2-part-1-of-3.html I'm using PyMPI on a 20 node EC2 cluster and everything seems groovy, but I'm relatively new to

A few replies have already given you some idea of the options. A comments to supplement those made so far: 1. mpi4py. I have used this quite a bit and it is incredible. It seems to build just about anywhere, and it has very complete coverage of the mpi spec - even the mpi-2 stuff. In fact, th

Hi, I use python for some fairly heavy scientific computations (at least to be running on a single processor) and would like to use it in parallel. I've seen some stuff online about Parallel Python and mpiPy, but I don't know much about them. Is a python-specific program needed to run python in p
