[HECnet] Parallel computing using DECnet

[Jovan Trujillo]

Oh man so we are going to do amazing things with 64 KB nodes ha ha. I like fractals sounds like a good application for what we have. 

...we do have 64KB available right? :)

Alrighty so no dynamic memory management. Then should we limit memory
allocation to 1 MB per node? What's everybody got to offer?

The largest memory baord in the systems I have on hand right now is...1M ;)

Yeah put all those machines to work! PDP-11 for sure. So what's the
common denominator for software development here? Do we all have C
compilers? I was thinking of starting with something simple, like
finding solutions to Beal's Conjecture for crazy large numbers.

More common, and generating better code: FORTRAN 77.

                    from VCF your
                    way yet?


                Yes!   I haven't looked at them yet, but they're here, safe and
            sound.
            I'll work out a way to get them to you soon.


    Cool!

                Back to work now.


    Back to waiting on crap in my case. ;)
