[scilab-Users] Parallel Computing in Scilab

[Mathieu Dubois]

Hello,

I don't know Matlab Parallel Computing Toolbox but I think that the 
closest solution in scilab is the PVM toolbox (help("PVM")). I have 
never used it but PVM is included in most clusters. I have no idea how 
hard it is to translate code.

Scilab 5.3 introduced the parallel_run function for multicore computers 
(help("parallel_run")).

I think that parallel computing is a main objective for scilab 6.

HTH,
Mathieu
