Web site: http://www.snurgle.org/~pybrenda/ This is an alpha release. + What is PyBrenda? PyBrenda is a system for easily doing parallel computation using the Python programming language. It is somewhat similar to the C-Linda language; it uses the notion of "tuple space" to simplify the interactions among processes. PyBrenda coordinates requests for more processors to be involved in computations and facilitates data sharing among those processors. + What do I need to use PyBrenda? PyBrenda only runs on UNIX systems. At minimum, you will need Python 1.5. For parallel computing, you will require at least two computers networked together. Ideally these computers (and you) would have access to a network drive (e.g., via NFS). There must be identical paths to that drive on all machines (i.e., identically-named mount points). The rsh client and service are also required for parallel computing. == Milton L.
