Actually, I was thinking of apps where people spent lots of money to add hybrid models to their code, and found it didn't win much. But it's hard for reality to catch up with a bad religion. > If current HPC trends continue into the future there is going to be > increased motivation to implement fine-grained parallelism in > addition to MPI. And to make MPI do finger grain parallelism, too... which is why InfiniPath IB HCAs do so well on small messages. -- greg
