In the usual place - this is an early rc as it doesn’t yet contain the thread multiple fix that is impacting performance. However, I wanted to give people a chance to run all their non-threaded functional validation tests.
The release candidate includes a wide range of bug fixes as reported by users over the last month, many of which have been subsequently tested by the reporters. Still, I would appreciate a fairly thorough testing as this is expected to be the last 1.8 series release for some time. http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.8/ <http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.8/> We are still shooting to get this officially released before the holidays - which means, we have 2 weeks to complete the release cycle. Thanks Ralph
