The parallelization is done by running several MATLAB or Octave
|

processes, either on local or on remote machines. Communication
|
||||
between master and slave processes are done through SMB on Windows and
|
||||
between leader and follower processes are done through SMB on Windows and
|
||||
SSH on UNIX. Input and output data, and also some short status
|

messages, are exchanged through network filesystems. Currently the

system works only with homogenous grids: only Windows or only Unix
