Abstract
We describe the reference software architecture of parIDL, a PSE for distributed memory parallel computers that integrates the parallel software library ScaLAPACK, needed to develop and test scientific applications related to adaptive optics simulations. It incorporates a run time support for the execution of the commercial problem solving environment IDL on parallel machines, whose development has begun in a project with astronomy researchers for adaptive optic simulation of terrestrial large binocular telescopes.
