Hi, I don't quite understand how the communication link with other

be some sort of requirement to explicitly address network resources to
ensure the correct process is being addressed. What have I missed?

Those interested in parallel processing might look at ZPL.

Unlike Co-array Fortran, the ZPL compiler is responsible for
partitioning the arrays. The default array type is automatically
partitioned among available processors. (A special array type
is available for non-parallel use.) There are special operators
to allow the usual operations on arrays that are needed by many
numerical array algorithms.
