********************************************************************


A high performance MPI-FM on Myrinet is now available.  Performance
highlights include:

	0-byte Latency: 25us
	Peak Bandwidth: 17.5MB/s (platform dependent)

This release uses the Illinois Fast Messages layer to achieve high
performance for communication in workstation clusters.  Both the
software and more information are available from:

        http://www-csag.cs.uiuc.edu/projects/comm/fm.html

Details: MPI-FM is a port of MPICH (Argonne-MSU) atop Illinois Fast
Messages (FM), a high performance messaging layer developed for the
Cray T3D and networks of workstations.  If you already have a Myrinet
network up and running, everything you need in order to use MPICH for
FM (including a full MPICH release) is included in the release. MPICH
for FM has been tested on SPARCstation 10/20s (sun4m architecture) as
well as on SPARCstation 2s (sun4c architecture) running SunOS
4.1.3. However, it should also work on other SPARC-based platforms.
