matlab MPI project

The popularity of MATLAB and the fact that it could only utilize one processor sparked a lot ofinterest in creating a parallel MATLAB. We have done a survey and found through extensive websearching 27 parallel MATLAB projects. These projects vary in their scope: some are one-man projectsthat provide basic embarrassingly parallel capabilities to MATLAB; some are university or governmentlab research projects; while some are commercial projects that enables the user of MATLAB in productdevelopment. Also their approaches to making MATLAB parallel are different: some compile MATLABscripts into parallel native code; some provide a parallel backend to MATLAB, using MATLAB as agraphical frontend; and some others coordinate multiple MATLAB processes to work in parallel. Theseprojects also vary widely in their status: some are now defunct and exist only in Google web cache,while some are entering their second or third revision.
