Parallelization is still limited to energy evaluation, so it gives an
advantage only for MD and minimization. And it's done by data
replication, which means only a small number of processors.

I have been planning more systematic parallelization for a long time,
but only recently I found the time to look at this seriously. The
first result is the BSP module in Scientific Python. I hope to build a
parallel MMTK on top of that. Unfortunately, I also need to produce
papers to stay alive in science.

As for 64 bit ports, well, it's C code, just compile it... MMTK works
fine on Alphas, for example. I haven't tried the Itanium though.

Konrad.
