[Caml-list] ocamlmpi reduce_int_array, showstopper?

Hi Sylvain, Xavier, I have encountered what seems to be a serious problem with reduce_int_array in ocamlmpi, namely, in a trivial test case it successfully returns incorrect results. This is my test code -- (* ocamlopt -o test -I +ocamlmpi mpi.cmxa test.ml *) let me = Mpi.comm_rank

There is certainly a reasonable body of basic CS research on parallelizing CFG algorithms such as CYK, the Earley parser, and to a lesser extent the more practical LALR strategy used by yacc etc. (In the latter case it seems to get easier if you're willing to trade off determinism when parsing
