[GRASS-dev] Introduction

Hello,

My Name is Prameet Chhabra and I am an engineer in Sun Microsystem's Open source team, My charter is the port open source apps to Sun X64 Grid. Currently I am the individual working on GRASS evaluation and subsequently porting the application to Solaris x64 (and eventually intending to make the application available as a resource available on Sun Grid).

In the eval phase I have a couple of questions if any one can help...

1. Is GRASS application parallelized to use either MPI/PVM or other interface.
2. What % of native and what % of Java code (if any)

any responses will be greatly appreciated.

thanks
Prameet Chhabra

In general, no, although the GPDE library has OpenMP pragmas.

2. What % of native and what % of Java code (if any)

There is no Java code.

The libraries are all C, most programs are C, one program
(r.terraflow) is C++, there are a number of Bourne shell scripts, a
GUI in Tcl/Tk, another GUI in Python, plus two programs (v.digit and
nviz) using a mixture of C and Tcl/Tk.

Hello.

You may take a short look on my currently starting project
http://gal-famework.no-ip.org which will be some kind of an object
abstraction over GRASS core libraries with possibility of OpenMPI support. It
is not fully started yet but I'lll start it up during summer.

It will be a long way to go for this project to be useable but you may at
least suggest some ideas for this project concerning OpenMPI support.
