to expose two logical, main CPU's to the OS, so code that is "simply"
multi-threaded should still see an advantage. In addition, IBM provides
an SDK which includes workflow management as well as libraries to
support commo
I have been experimenting with ways of parallelizing many of the
functions in the math library. There are two experimental packages
available in http://www.stat.uiowa.edu/~luke/R/experimental: pnmath,
based on OpenMP, and pnmath0, based on basic pthreads. I'm not sure

utilize the SPE units of the Cell processor (commonly found in the
Playstation 3) and I am wondering if anyone has already done any work in
that area. I can't find anything using the search page or Google.
