In anticipation of our forthcoming release candidate program while
preparing for v1.0 (scheduled for release in early October), the Open
MPI Project is pleased to announce the following:
- The Open MPI code base is now open to the public. Effective
immediately, the Open MPI web site provides information on how to
obtain anonymous, read-only checkouts of the Open MPI code base from
our Subversion code repository. Nightly snapshot tarballs are also
available.
- Open MPI includes native support for TCP, shared memory, Infiniband
(both Open IB and mVAPI), and Myrinet (GM).
- The Open MPI web site has been augmented to include more information
about the project, upcoming publications, and information about the
code base. The content on the web site will continue to grow over
time.
- The Open MPI "development" mailing list has been opened to the
public. This list is the canonical place to ask questions about the
code base, development efforts, and the internals of Open MPI.
Information on how to subscribe is available on the Open MPI web site.
- Open MPI v1.0 is expected in the beginning of October, 2005.
- The Open MPI Team will be starting a formal beta / release-candidate
program in the beginning of September, 2005 (approximately 1.5 weeks
from now). Release candidate tarballs will be available for
downloading and testing as a ramp-up to the v1.0 release.
