I see this statement in every MVAPICH release notice and it continues to puzzle me. I understand that there was a use for an alternate distribution source before MVAPICH became open source. But now that the MVAPICH code bases are freely available from OSU via multiple mechanisms (anonymous SVN, tarball download, etc.), why is a "stripped down version" maintained in the OpenIB SVN? 1. What, exactly, is the difference between the MVAPICH available from OSU and the "stripped down version" in the OpenIB SVN? 2. Why would someone choose to download the "stripped down version" from the OpenIB SVN? Have any real users/customers done so? 3. What is the point of maintaining yet more flavors of MVAPICH -- aren't there enough already (multiple versions from OSU, more versions available from each IB vendor)? DK -- can you please explain?
