[Bruno Chareyre <bruno.chareyre@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
Hopefully there will be some progress in the near future regarding a 
distributed  memory parallelization of Yade.
For the moment the preferred approach is to handle this all at the 
python level using mpi4py (porting some critical functions to c++ might 
be considered later).
Some changes (hopefully limited) are necessary on the c++ side 
nevertheless, and I just forked a branch to this purpose [1].
You can find main ideas in the wiki of this branch [2].

This project is still very much in a brainstorming stage, every comment 
or question are welcome (especially if it helps anticipating 
shortcomings of some decisions!).
You can subscribe to the yade-mpi mailing list if you'd like to discuss 
it or just keep track of the progress.

Cheers

Bruno
