Some random quickies on the Open MPI front that may or may not interest you…

• Jeff has left the building. Well, Jeff left the building a long time ago, but he’s leaving IU really soon now to take a job a Cisco. More information on his blog.
• The group has gotten a lot bigger lately. New members include:
  • Cisco Systems (who hired Jeff away from us to work on Open MPI)
  • Voltaire
  • Sun, who has a couple blog posts on the move here and here.
• The one-sided implementation in Open MPI continues to be debugged, but I have high confidence it will be ready to ship as part of Open MPI v1.1. Woo hoo!
• George has gone on a performance binge lately, which has resulted in much lower latency for all our interconnects and much better bandwidth for our shared memory transport.
