We have a high performance computing lab, with diverse platforms and
therefore interested in various mpi developments/projects.
I have been instructed by my vice dean to start playing around with
open
mpi, to get a feeling and understanding of it.
However, as far as I understand, right now, there is nothing for me to
do but wait until further releases are made, the web site says, you
dont
accept new alpha testers anymore. Is this really the case, or am I
missing something?
You are correct - we are not making our alpha release available to
new testers. We received lots of good feedback, went back and fixed
a bunch of stuff, and are preparing a public beta release.
Do you have an estimate of a next release?
Soon :). We're in the final Q/A stages of the beta release and doing
some of the final paperwork all the institutions require for software
releases. After many years of doing LAM/MPI releases (and now Open
MPI releases), I'm hesitant to give a firmer response than that -- it
tends to guarantee that whatever I say won't come true. As for our
future release plans beyond the beta, you might want to take a look
at the mailing list archives from last month.
