From the start updating department
One of my favorite projects, Open-MX just announced the final release of version 1.3.0. There are only some very minor changes since the last release candidate, mostly a fix for a
latency regression. The 1.2.x branch is officially no longer maintained
and upgrade to 1.3.0 is strongly recommended.
What is Open-MX You Ask?
Open-MX is a high-performance implementation of the Myrinet Express message-passing stack over generic Ethernet networks. It provides application-level with wire-protocol compatibility with the native MXoE (Myrinet Express over Ethernet) stack.
The following middleware are known to work flawlessly on Open-MX
using their native MX backend thanks to the ABI and API compatibility:
Open MPI,
Argonne's MPICH2/Nemesis,
Myricom's MPICH-MX
and MPICH2-MX,
PVFS2,
Intel MPI (using the new TMI interface),
Platform MPI (formerly known as HP-MPI), and
NewMadeleine.
As soon as time allows, I plan on doing some testing on the new Open-MX version. I have used previous versions and they work quite well.
