It is possible and I suppose everything not passing and retrieving messages 
would be done in D. There is probably a bunch of work involved in converting 
the headers, but there isn't any reason D can't call into MPI.

Looks like MPI is just another C interface. You just need to write binding for 
it and call it.


D programs linked with C/MPI based libraries

2011-04-07 Thread Dominic Jones
Hello,

Is it possible to call within a D driver program library functions which are
programmed in C/C++ with the message passing interface (MPI)? I want to write
a program which makes use of the ParMetis library
(http://glaros.dtc.umn.edu/gkhome/metis/parmetis/overview).

Supposing it is possible, to compile and run C/MPI programs, wrapper commands
are used, such as mpicc and mpirun. What would be done in D?

Thank you,
