Merging

topographica_mpi is now history. topographica --mpi has come to replace it. Working on merging with the current SVN version at the moment.

Weights generation problem is fixed now and the parallel code produces correct results: I modified the timed_topographica.sh script to work with lissom and it shows that the activity of V1 is the same in serial and in parallel. Next I need to move pmi.init into the commandline module to get rid of topographica_mpi once and for all and then - diff-ing and merging with the svn version.

Sorry for being so slow - I really do have very little free time. I remember someone said that while working in a start-up I won't have life. Well, yes.

I'm back

quick update: looks like I've cleaned up most of the cruft in the code, however now have to deal with error messages from cf.py that still tries to generate weights in parallel. On a bright side, I've run tests with lissom_oo_or_mpi.ty (before getting rid of the parallel weights generation code on the mpi-side) and it seems to be working fine. Anyway, the short-run plan is to fix the bug with weights, then move the pmi initialisation code away from the topographica launch script and then run some tests for correctness with lissom. Hoping to achieve that tomorrow.
