Has anybody given any thought to the possibility of supporting the
PGAS languages, such as UPC (unified parallel C), coArrayFortran, etc.
within the xcpu model?

Ijust compiled and installed the Berkeley UPC, and it has its own way
of starting processes.  Sure, one of the communication protocols it
supports is MPI, so presumably if MPI is working then this should not
be a problem necessarily.  However, it also requires the ability to
start multiple threads per node, and currently uses a perl script to
start its thing (upcrun).  How realistic is the possibility of support
for systems that have their own script-based initiators?  They are
quite common...

Daniel
