I guess Platform MPI (which is a "merge" of Scali MPI & HP-MPI) will get technologies from IBM MPI as well... or "merge" IBM's MPI into Platform MPI (merge is around quotes because it is in general hard to merge technologies - like I told a co-worker 10 years ago that one can't just merge SGE with PBS and get a better batch system, and one can't just merge Alpha with PA-RISC and get a super-fast microprocessor). So I guess there will be some engineering to do at IBM/Platform.
It is nevertheless exciting news!! http://www.platform.com/press-releases/2011/IBMtoAcquireSystemSoftwareCompanyPlatformComputingtoExtendReachofTechnicalComputing Rayson ================================================== Open Grid Scheduler - The Official Open Source Grid Engine http://gridscheduler.sourceforge.net/
