RE: [pooma-dev] Some POOMA questions

I think you just have to send email to get an account on the VSIPL++ site.

PETSc is a bit messy, which is why I always thought it would be nice to wrap the underlying data structures in an Engine and then use the POOMA interface.

If you really want to do parallel linear algebra, you should probably find someone's existing software and adapt it - unless writing parallel solvers is your Ph.D. topic.

Richard, James, Jeffrey,

Thanks a lot for your responses! Seems like POOMA was a bit of barking
up the wrong tree for us then.

I had a look at PETSc today, but I thought it was very messy, so
currently I'm down to evaluating Blitz++ and possibly MTL (it seems to
be a dead project), and implement parallelism through MPI myself where
needed.

As for VSIPL++ I can't seem to access much information at the site (and
I just read Richard is having the same problem).

Thanks again,
