 But the one-sided features of the (cray-like) SHMEM and MPI-2 libraries
 need underlying hardware support to perform.  You must be saying that the
 Scali implements the MPI-2 one-sided routines and they can be called even
 over Ethernet, but are actually two-sided emulations with two-sided performance
 on latency (on Ethernet), right?
