Hello *, first I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Christian Kauhaus and I am currently working at the Department of Computer Architecture at the University of Jena (Germany). Our work group is digging into how to connect several clusters on a campus.
As part of our research, we'd like to evaluate the use of IPv6 for multi-cluster coupling. Therefore, we need to run OpenMPI over TCP/IPv6. Last year during EuroPVM/MPI I already had a short chat with Jeff Squyres about this, but now we actually do have the time to work on this. First we are interested to integrate IPv6 support into the tcp btl. Does anyone know if there is someone already working on this? If yes, we would be glad to cooperate. If no, we would start it by ourselves, although we would need some help from the OpenMPI developer community regarding OpenMPI / ORTE internals. So I would really appreciate any pointers, hints or contacts to share. TIA Christian -- Dipl.-Inf.
