[mpich-discuss] mpich in Firmware

[Bob Ilgner]

Hi Marcelo,That is a nice objective and does not need to change. The
interface definitions should not change as they are magnificent.

Most of the clusters I work on are Intel based blades and I was
wondering whether one could gain some advantage by embedding the mpi
somehow, in the same sense as QPI ? Intel already has a threading lib,
no idea whether it can do the same as MPI though.

Kind regards, bob
