[HECnet] Parallel computing using DECnet

[Jovan Trujillo]

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

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.

               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. ;)
