Hi Gerhard and all, Thanks for those kind words of encouragement. I'll keep you guys posted on the progress. Who knows? It might actually work out and if it does, I'll make sure I document it properly on some wiki. BTW, does openbsd have an official wiki? There's wikia and openbsd-wiki, but they'r

I tried building open-mpi on those blade machines (1000 & 2000) which run openbsd/sparc64 with the -mv8plus flag for CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, FFLAGS, and FCFLAGS. The configure script went well, but both systems crashed during make. MPICH2 seems to work better on these machines than Open-MPI. For MPICH2,

Hi all, Thanks for the suggestions. I realize it'll probably be too slow to utilize the memory. The Sun Blade Systems are on a gigabit network with an Dell XPS 733 MHz (everything is gigabit) which has the MATLAB and Mathematica licenses. We are currently running Octave and Maxima on our Sparc64 m
