Looking for Portable MPI I/O Implementation?

rikt writes "I am trying to implement MPI I/O for our CFD product. I am facing a problem with the portability of the generated data files. MPI2 interface describes a way to achieve this either by using 'external32' or user defined data representations. The problem is that ROMIO, the most widely available MPI I/O implementation, has not implemented support for any data representation other than 'native'. Do you know of any MPI I/O implementation that supports this, and is available on various platforms? I know IBM and Sun supports this, but I am looking for a solution on Linux and Windows (both 32 & 64 bit) as well."

    so it's a place for socially impaired, would be geeks wasting their early adulthood modding cases with cold cathode tubes? Or is it a place for outrageous infomercial placements between the odd "geekly spinned" drivel on some old hashed, long gone by, fad. Or is it a place were, once again, would be IT geeks, dispense their judgements on the latest linux install screenshots... bitterly chastising whoever dares to perturb their self assessed expertise with questions and topics they can't even fathom? Your attitude is what makes up generalist TV, nothing too complicated to challenge the audience as it might be offended by it.
