To let everyone else know... We unfortunately ran into a blocker bug today, literally right before 1.3.1 went out the door. Doh! https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1832 -- Jeff Squyres Cisco Systems

I am assuming that by distributed OS you are referring to the changes that we (not just ORNL) are trying to do. If this is the case, this is a mischaracterization of the of out intentions. We have two goals - To be able to use a different run-time than ORTE to drive Open MPI - To use the com

I think I have to agree with Terry. I love to inspire and see new, original, and unintended uses for Open MPI. But our primary focus must remain to create, maintain, and continue to deliver a high performance MPI implementation. We have a long history of adding "small" things to Open MPI t
