new approach try-out

Today I'm going to try out my ideas for hiding communications on a piece of C code that's doing something similar to what's happening inside the Topographica's DotProduct_opt. Now, because this piece of code obviously does not exist yet, I'll have to write it, so the plan is:

• Write the sequential version
• Then modify this to run in parallel, the way it does in the current parallel topographica
• Final stage would be trying to modify it further so that communication happens in parallel with computations and see if it gives any speed-ups

...The sequential version is now working. Ew, salt and vinegar crisps are awful... God I hate vinegar! Anyway, on to the next part.


FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! accidentally destroyed half the code I've written.... so stupid=( rewriting, what else...

ok, finally recovered, so now back to where I've been. Probably I'll call it a night now, it's a bit late. Tomorrow - working on the MPI bit.
