But that covers 95% of what I need, so it's plenty.

I'm going to use this for realtime visualization, so there's no
way I can call a bunch of Python code if I'm to expect ~10 fps
refresh, where each frame takes many MBytes of memory to stream
through.

Good to know.

I'm going to write a cellular automata MPI package around Rolf Rabenseifner's
heat transfer MPI demo, and the VolPack voxel rendering library, to run on
my 8-node K7 Beowulf (I guess DDR memory, since this is about memory stream
voxels).
