    All this sounds good and Interesting, and Becker did a tremendous ammount of development in this field. But I was just wondering, what about supercomputers like BlueGene/L which have very fast interconnects. Many supercomputers/distributed systems run MPI based programmes and such programmes need a high interprocess commmunication does anyone one know how good these are in a Bewoulf Cluster? thanks a3217055 They said that of all the kings upon the earth he was the man most gracious and fair-minded, kindest to his people and keenest to win fame. :-The Geats' tribute to Beowulf after his death.
