Octave on IRIX64 - Origin 2000 8 way

[Brett L. Trotter]

I have an Origin 2000 8x250mhz box and an Origin 200 2x270mhz. I'd like to 
know what i really need to do to take advantage of those machines either 
individually or as a group.

I saw some links regarding parallelized Octave, but those seem to be MPI 
based. While the Origin series machines can use MPI, it seems a little 
wasteful considering the distributed shared memory model.

So what package(s) and/or compile options do I need to really get Octave up to 
its full potential?

And a second question, are there some good octave benchmarks around so that I 
could demonstrate the speed of the 8 way SGI box versus a 2 way Sun box?

Thanks in advance for any replies!
