As part of research on parallel functional skeletons, i have developed
a minimal interface between Ocaml and MPI.

Just like J.M. Alliot (cf his last mail), i've been using the
marshall/unmarshall builtin facilities of Caml for sending/receiving
polymorphic messages as raw blocks of bytes.
This interface has not been used intensively, but preliminary results are
encouraging.

For more information, you can have a look at a paper i recently submitted to
EuroPar97 (http://brahms.fmi.uni-passau.de/cl/europar97). Available from;
