I tried building open-mpi on those blade machines (1000 & 2000) which run openbsd/sparc64 with the -mv8plus flag for CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, FFLAGS, and FCFLAGS. The configure script went well, but both systems crashed during make. MPICH2 seems to work better on these machines than Open-MPI. For MPICH2, I tried "./configure --with-pm=mpd:gforker --disable-romio --disable-mpe." gforker will only allow you run to run jobs on one node. It's good for SMP systems. Unfortunately, both blade systems have only one core and that's not my goal anyway. I wanted to add the "enable-fast" for the best performance, but just wanted to be safe, ./configure --with-pm=mpd:gforker --disable-romio --disable-mpe builds just fine. I believe having mpd means I may able to can distribute jobs between different architectures. My MATLAB/Mathematica Licenses live on ArchLinux/i686, so hopefully it'll work out!
