Ahoj Honzo,

> We are planning to rewrite the module r.sun for parallel computation and would like to ask you, which platform is more desired by the GRASS community. To our understanding there are two main ways of development. Either we design it for multi-core desktop systems that use shared memory (for example with use of OpenMP) or create module for large clusters with use of MPI library.

just a small note, AFAIR there was similar project (based on OpenCL)
within GSoC 2010 program [1]. Probably someone here know details...
