The original post was simply proof of concept, primarily in response to another thread's claim that the new parallel tools in V7 are incompatible with Mathematica's overall design objectives. Clearly, other languages could be used, as I even pointed out in the OP. > And the C++ program works without any parallel Mathematica > stuff. Of course, the parallel programming could be done over in the other language; the point is that it doesn't have to be. > I see that Java programs are still faster written than > executed. Yes, as all serious users of Mathematica know, development time is a crucial issue as well. Thank you for pointing that out. Mark McClure
