Public bug reported: Many universities (including the one where I work) have built small clusters using (K)Ubuntu 6.06 LTS in order to teach Parallel Processing. Previously, people were using LAM/MPI (http://www.lam-mpi.org/) in order to program applications using the Message-Passing paradigm. Since then, the LAM/MPI makers have written "LAM/MPI is now in a maintenance mode. Bug fixes and critical patches are still being applied, but little real "new" work is happening in LAM/MPI. This is a direct result of the LAM/MPI Team spending the vast majority of their time working on our next-generation MPI implementation -- Open MPI."
OpenMPI (http://www.open-mpi.org/) is the new standard for Parallel Processing and it is unfortunate that a package for that does not exist in 6.06 LTS. I am therefore asking whether it is possible to backport openmpi from, say, Feisty to Dapper? I am willing to help as I will need openmpi badly in a few weeks. Thanks. ** Affects: dapper-backports Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Please backport openmpi 1.1-2.3 from Feisty 7.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189989 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backporters, which is the bug contact for Dapper Backports. -- ubuntu-backports mailing list ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
