Does anybody know some statistics on MPI usage. e.i. : - percentage of C, C++, Fortran MPI programs - percentage of SPMD and MPMD programs - MPI function an function groups usage (how many people use topologies, asynchronous IO, communicator attributes etc.) - average number of nodes for running and for debugging I suppose this can be interesting for all MPI community as a valuable feedback from those who use MPI for real applications. There was a survey on SC'93 on the usage of debugging tools ( http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/pancake94what.html ) and It might be possible (if its not too late now) to do something alike. -- Best regards, Konstantin.
