Vincent, I would not stick my unfortunate colleagues with this "conversation." No, that is not what happens. Yes, some other interconnects use the same interrupt strategy that we do. It's not a bad thing, it's a good thing. The most important thing in life is to know when you don't understand something. I'm kind of bad at it myself, but you set a record. -- greg _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
