You should ask Sun about when they will have a Sun-supported MPI library for
to use.  Many vendors are now distributing MPI implementations, usually at
no extra cost.

Meanwhile, you can use any of the freely available portable
implementations.  At least MPICH and LAM both run on Solaris, and
others might as well.  You can find out more about them at the web
page http://www.mcs.anl.gov/mpi.  Follow the link to
"implementations".
