Parallel python by sellemann

I got tired of waiting slicing large models on my mac i7. And realized that all my computers only took advantage og 1 core more or less when I sliced !!!
Parallel Python is a PyThon module which provides mechanism for parallel execution of python code on SMP (systems with multiple processors (Multi Processor) or cores (Multi Core)) and clusters (computers connected via network)... Internally ppsmp uses processes and IPC (Inter Process Communications) to organize parallel computations. All the details and complexity of the later are completely taken care of, and your application just submits jobs and retrieves their results (the easiest way to write parallel applications). To make things even better, the software written with pp works in parallel even on many computers connected via local network or Internet. Cross Platform portability and dynamic Load Balancing allows pp to parallelize computations efficiently even on heterogeneous and multi-platform clusters. (Grid Computing, Parallel Processing) Maby all of us 3d nerds should join up in one big happy cluster :-)
