To anyone ...

Somewhat tangentially, but while we are on the subject of one-sided
communications in MPI-2, am I correct in assuming that this capability 
is implemented as it is in SHMEM ... via communication to/from symmetric 
(or known asymmetric) memory locations inside the companion processes 
memory space.  It would seem to be a requirement for speed and would 
also seem to require the use of identical binaries on each processor
(and COMMON or static to place data in a symmetric location).

Thanks for your guidance ...
