Duncan M. McGreggor

Duncan M. McGreggor, having programmed with GOTOs in the 1980s, has made up for that through community service by making open source contributions for more than 20 years. He has spent a major part of the past 10 years dealing with distributed and scientific computing (in languages ranging from Python, Common Lisp, and Julia to Clojure and Lisp Flavored Erlang). In the 1990s, after serving as a linguist in the US Army, he spent considerable time working on projects related to MATLAB and Mathematica, which was a part of his physics and maths studies at the university. Since the mid 2000s, matplotlib and NumPy have figured prominently in many of the interesting problems that he has solved for his customers. With the most recent addition of the IPython Notebook, matplotlib and the suite of the Python scientific computing libraries remain some of his most important professional tools.

More clustering


There are other interesting options if you wish to parallelize the Python code and run it on clusters on problems that require you to visualize computationally intensive problems. Of particular interest is MIT's StarCluster project, which runs on Amazon AWS (EC2) and supports the Open Grid Engine (formerly known as the Sun Grid Engine). Furthermore, StarCluster has an IPython cluster plugin, which lets you easily run the IPython.parallel code on EC2. For more information on this, be sure to refer to this chapter's IPython Notebook, the StarCluster documentation, and the IPython documentation for parallel computations.
