Well I was really thinking that OpenMP might be easiest, the fastest
from setup to application running for someone new (which would include
me, this is hypothetical for me, but I think for myself I'll use MPI
not OpenMP, because I want to micromanage the message passing) but I"m
no expert by any any means.<br>
