Hi, http://open-mx.org give a pretty good summary of the current status of Open-MX. The stack is plugged on top of the Ethernet layer in the Linux kernel to send/receive MX messages. The MX firmware is basically emulated in a kernel module without requiring any specific feature in the hardware. Release 0.3 is young but I am confident that it's not too bad. The performance still needs improvement but the stack is already reasonably stable. At least MPICH-MX and Open MPI build on top of it and complete IMB. I encourage people to test it and send some feedback. If you need more information, feel free to ask.
