Hi

I am using IDL version 6.4 on Windows. My code takes ages as I have 4D arrays and lots of computations. I wanted to speed up the process by doing parallel programming.

I came across with these two pages.

Does IDL_IDLBridge works only on Linux?

I have limited knowledge in programming. Can anyone help me by giving a good starting point for the parallel processing in IDL?

Many thanks

There are some small differences between UNIX, OS X, and Windows, but it
should work on all of them. I'm more worried about IDL 6.4. The
IDL_IDLBridge was introduced in IDL 6.3, I'm not sure how many bridge
bugs have been fixed since 6.4 and 8.5.1.

That's a bit daunting then. Parallel programming is generally not the
best place to start when learning to program.

I have some library routines and examples in my library that might be
close to what you are doing and hopefully simple to modify for your
needs. My library is at:

https://github.com/mgalloy/mglib

Library routines are in src/multiprocessing and the examples are in
examples/multiprocessing.
