Hi - this is unlikely, as we keep our parallelisation development as
simple as possible in order to be as widely-usable as possible. Given
that permutation testing falls into the category of 'embarrassingly
parallelisable', and the different parallel processes do not need to
communicate with each other during the main running, there isn't
actually a need for MPI anyway.
Cheers, Steve.
