Doug, I just want to note: "...[Intel's standard] adds a requirement on the message layer implementation that differences in the device-level API be hidden from the application code. *An example* [emphasis mine] of an implementation of a message layer that meets this requirement is the Intel (tm) MPI Library..." This makes me a bit optimistic that other parts than Intel's (hopefully all parts, e.g. AMD microprocessors) can conform to the standard. Requiring MPI (as opposed to say virtual machines) is probably a necessary limitation to the standard's scope. Plainly they don't require any particular unix. And probably they will want to permit MS compilers to conform, don't you think? Peter

Intel has announced their new "Cluster Ready" program. I have a short write-up with links on Cluster Monkey. http://www.clustermonkey.net//content/view/204/1/ It is an Intel centric spec for clusters. A "good thing" in general I think, though I have concerns. (read the post) Opinions ?
