Hi Brad/others Sorry for waking this very stale thread, but I am researching the prospects of CellBE based supercomputing and I found this old email a promising lead. My question is: what was the reason for choosing to mix an x86 based AMD cores and PPC 970 based Cell? Was the Cell based computer

Brad just curious. Did you tweak any other values for starting and running a job on such a large system? You say unmodified, but OpenMPI lets you tweak many values at runtime. I would be curious to expand what I know from what you discovered. Brock Palen www.umich.edu/~brockp Center for

Greetings Open MPI users; we thought you'd be interested in the following announcement... A new supercomputer, powered by Open MPI, has broken the petaflop barrier to become the world's fastest supercomputer. The "Roadrunner" system was jointly developed by Los Alamos National Laboratories and IB
