Please apologize. I usually take care to mention the mpi package, even
in the 'DESCRIPTION' file of the 'parallel' package. I just forgot
about it in this case.

My talk was to be more on the different principles, and which of the
principles is used by Matlab and by Octave. I didn't want to describe
the usage details of the 'parallel' package. So if you talk about
'mpi', it would be rather a specialization than a complementing of my
talk.

I'd rather suggest that I mention 'mpi' also and put it into the
context of the description of the principles. If you want to make an
extra talk about 'mpi' afterwards, I'll have to add a specialization
to 'parallel' to my talk, which I didn't intend to do.
