comment Parallelism in (I)Python with large blocks of data
Yip, after a bit of fiddling with the function call, it works like a bomb. My only worry now is that sometimes the cluster nodes also run out of memory, but I'm looking into that now.

comment Parallelism in (I)Python with large blocks of data
Somehow, amidst all my Googling with keywords like "python" and "parallel", I hadn't found iPython's parallel system, which I've now used. So thanks for mentioning it!

comment Parallelism in (I)Python with large blocks of data
I did try that, but IIRC that gave me memory errors. I think some of the broadcasting that I did made new arrays that were too large. It may have been a design flaw, but I left it because speed wasn't an issue until quite recently. I might give that another look too.
