Charm++ parallel programming system

[Lorenzo Pesce <lpesce AT uchicago.edu>]

I am sorry for asking this shotgun question. While I know that I could dig up 
old emails and scour the web, I also know that at this point I don’t really 
know what I am looking for, so all I am begging for is some pointers. :-)

I am building a neurosimulator. I wonder if anyone has experience with that 
an charm++ (please don’t send me a list with Neuron, Nest, …. those are not 
what I am looking for and I can explain why to anyone who is interested, but 
it would seem off topic here). The problem, for what I need to do, is: 
objects with very variable computational time, size and behavior, connected 
to other objects with connections of variable speed (from light speed to 
slow) all over the map (no fixed rhyme or reason in the connectivity).  
Scale: from 1 to 20K cores.

Has anyone used a library of charm++ or a program under a perl or python 
driver script?

Feel free to dismiss my questions as newbie nonsense. That would be a useful 
feedback anyway.
