[scilab-Users] Parallel computation - grid creation

[Mathieu Dubois]

Hello,

I once set up small cluster in my lab. I found 2 "cluster" distributions 
that may help you.

I know that OSCAR (http://oscar.openclustergroup.org/) automatically ste 
up PVM. Nevertheless the project seems to have difficulties to deliver a 
stable version for the 6 branch.

You may also have look at ROCKS 
(http://www.rocksclusters.org/wordpress/) which seems more dynamic (but 
I don't know of it has PVM included).

I have never used PVM with scilab so I can't help you with this. I know 
that there is a compile time option to enable it. Maybe the default 
version has PVM...
