woops, forgot about this thread Smile

'tis probably a little late, but if you like we could run something here -> http://ligo.aset.psu.edu/pleiades/index.shtml

MC would be very easy to do..

With a duo-core setup we see _speedup_ of 1.8 (80%).

At some stage shared models will reach a limit and then we should use a distributed model (possibly in conjunction with sharing). is this correct?

Zeta,
We now have some Monte Carlo code running on OpenMP and soon on MPI.

We would like to extend to a grid; what are the steps?

As part of my research (and also as a side project Wink

) I am designing and building a functioning grid. A bare bones grid distributed across the web may be constructed around the globus toolkit:
http://www.globus.org
and the flavor of MPI to suit:
http://www3.niu.edu/mpi/

issues:
a)security
b)interoperability (windows/linux/mac etc)
c)bandwidth

I'll post here some of the progress and specific problems I've come across
