Hi Dave,

At Tech-X Corporation, we have prototyped the use of MPI (message
passing interface) with IDL and have succesfully tested this simple
prototype on a Beowolf style linux cluster. Tech-X will soon receive
funding from the US Department of Energy for further proof-of-principle
development of this idea. This next round of development will occur
over a six month period, beginning in September.

Tech-X just issued a press release on this subject, and I just posted
that press release to this news group.

Cheers,
David
