DistArray aims to bring the strengths of NumPy to data-parallel
high-performance computing. It provides distributed multi-dimensional
NumPy-like arrays and distributed ufuncs, distributed IO capabilities, and can
integrate with external distributed libraries, like Trilinos. DistArray works

with NumPy and builds on top of it in a flexible and natural way.
