[Scilab-users] Parallel execution on Mac

[Arvid Rosén]

Yeah, I know about that bug. Does anyone know if it is difficult to fix?

I have used a custom solution for parallel processing previously (using fork), but it crashes now in libBLAS.

For some applications, such as Monte-Carlo estimations, this is not a big problem, since you just have to submit more tasks that expected. But for other tasks, such as partionning a big domain for independant computations (e.g. computing the Mandelbrot Set), this prohibits its usage. Under Linux, I have no problem using simultaneously 40 cores.
