Greetings Neil. In addition to what George and Mitch said: Open MPI will not require a full set of daemons like LAM/MPI does. You can have a full set if you wish, especially in environments where it makes sense (e.g., rsh/ssh, where there is little other infrastructure to do proper distribut

Neil, Long time, no see! Greetings from rainy San Francisco to rainy Reading! Open MPI is designed to be thread-safe using pthread facilities with relatively fine grain access to critical regions. I haven't tried to mix Open MPI with OpenMP, but from what I understand of OpenMP, I believe it sh

Neil, Open-MPI support all thread models defined by the MPI standard if they are available on the target system. Few years ago I did some work with MPI and OpenMP and locking mechanism of existing MPI implementations was the performance killer. We have work hard to remove this bottleneck on O
