Parallel-Knoppix papers 

Collection of papers citing Parallel-Knoppix in the context of MPITB for Octave.
It was about time to start a new section with cites to Michael Creel's work.

Physical Review A (atomic, molecular and optical physics)
Phys. Rev. A 77, 052106 (2008) (11 pages)
Mátyás Koniorczyk, Árpád Varga, Peter Rapčan, Vladimír Bužek:
Quantum homogenization and state randomization in semiquantal spin systems (PDF)
7 May 2008.
doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.77.052106
PACS: 03.65.Yz, 03.67.Mn
Just a mention at p.8: "The evaluation of (26) is obviously suitable for parallel computing. Thus we
have carried out our simulations on a parallel computer using GNU Octave and its MPI toolbox [21]." Reference [21] is Michael's "User-Friendly" below.

Michael Creel:
Using Parallelization to Solve a Macroeconomic Model: A Parallel Parameterized Expectations Algorithm
Computational Economics, Volume ?, Number ?, April 2008?, pp.??--??
ISSN: 0927-7099 (Paper) 1572-9974 (Online)
DOI: 10.1007/s10614-008-9142-6
ICCS'06 is ref.#5, cited in p.4/10. MPITB is also cited in pp.8,10. Nice remark in the acknowledgements. Nice highlighting that if the simple case (toy example) scales well, the serious example (with more computing load) will scale better. Impressive Table 1.

Creel, M.:
User-Friendly Parallel Computations with Econometric Examples (PDF) (alt)
Computational Economics, Volume 26, Number 2, October 2005, pp.107--128

MPITB is cites [8-10] (VecPar'02, '04 and web) in p.109. Five example problems (Montecarlo, Bootstrap, MLE, GMM, Kernel) are parallelized  using MPITB, starting at Section 4, p.117. See results in Fig.1 p.119. Almost linear speedup up to 12 computers, except for the GMM example (hard one, saturates at speedup 4.75).
