i just wanted to add that "archive_ex" and "unarchive_ex" works only and only for single expressions. If someone wants to save lists of matrixes like i needed, you can use "archive_node" which is great too.<br>
it can save you lots of time<br>best regards, <br>Cristobal<span style="color: black;"></span><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jun 6, 2010 at 2:19 PM, Cristobal Navarro <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:axischire@gmail.com" target="_blank">axischire@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>additionally, thanks to ginac's great modularism, <br>i was able to add some extra binary header information at the beginning of the same file (like the number of elements stored), because some information was dynamic and unknown for the program.<br>
<br>i guess ginac's archive tool internally serializes its objects, something i wasnt doing on my program.<br><br>i only have this little question (for the future), has someone worked with ginac and distributed systems (clusters), ? sending and receiving ginac type objects between nodes ?<br>
would it be possible to send the "archive" which is serialized already (maybe im completely wrong) through an MPI send/receive instruction??<br>i will eventually look into this the following weeks to come, but meanwhile any answer will be very helpful to clear up the scenario.<br>
<br>best regards and thank you very much <br><font color="#888888"><br><span style="color: black;"><div dir="ltr"><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/neoideo" target="_blank">Cristobal</a></div></div></span></font><div>

</div>Yes. It's documented in the manual (section 5.15.4, titled as `Archiving').<br>

</div>That code is not going to work (with any non-POD data type). Perhaps you<br>
should read something about serialization. A good starting point is<br>
