 I am totally new to parallel programming using MPL.
 Currently, I am programming on the IBM SP2 platform.
 My current assignment is to "parallelize" a very complex serial program.
 This program involves large amount of matrix and two dimensional array
 operation.
 In fact, there's at least 2 interrelated 2D arrays.
 The original program make use of the iterative Expectation-Maximisation
 algorithm to perform a complex calculation on data stored on these 2 arrays.
 
 My task is to parallelize such operation so that each node of the parallel
 machine will handle part of the processing for each array.

 Are opinions on how this can be archieved ?

 TCH.
