This is honestly the truth...

(in our application, which is a higher-level application for
an easily useable/buildable system interactively building parallel
computations for statistical analysis, we've managed to find counter
examples to most of the conventional wisdoms regarding MPI (LAM-MPI
implementation, we hope to add MPICH as well) and PVM.  There's a
socket interface as well that we've got as a back end).

(We use R (www.r-project.org) as the workhorse in front of ones choice
of message passing library...).

best,
