Dear Ben!

Thank you for the reply. My idea was to run PV-5.0.0-RC1 in parallel on our 
cluster, 
therefore the need to recompile as the binaries do not usually ship with this 
feature
 and I guess that you do not necessarily know either which parallel 
communication 
library is going to be used  on the end user's compute platform.

If the binaries ship with SWR using prebuilt mesa  binaries, is there any 
documentation
on how to build the mesa binaries with SWR support? I might eventually figure 
it out by
myself (or not) but I would be grateful for any hints.

Cheers,

Frank.

The binaries built by our buildbots (and uploaded to the website) have SWR 
available using prebuilt mesa binaries. If you have AVX CPU extensions 
available, passing:

    --mesa-swr-avx

should enable it. There's also --mesa-swr-avx2 if you have AVX2 extensions 
available.
