Right! I'm willing to test on Mips and Mipsel. Is test code available or is it necessary to dig into assembler code (I know only x86 assembler). I would be glad to help Open MPI since I know it is a very important project for all kind of numerical simulations. Stupidly I programmed the last years only on MISD (shared memory parallel computers) and not on clusters ... Jens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
