parallel octave (was Re: RFC: Using Standard C++ ...)

[Paul Kienzle]

Hayato Fujiwara of Tohoku University, Japan also has an oct-file extension
which allows distributed processing:

        http://www.higuchi.ecei.tohoku.ac.jp/octave/

He does not rely on MPI but instead rolls his own from sockets.  He provides
connect, send, recv, reval, close.
