Hello, 

I'm a computer engineering student and I'm working in a parallel
processing
project on an IBM SP2, and I have some problems.

I'm using the MPI-F implementation but I must run concurrently some
procedures
on a single processor, too.

I have doubts on how to get concurrency on a single processor On SP2,
perhaps
some C compiler directives, threads, MPI_Spawn (perhaps in future), ...

If one of the possibilities is the use of threads, there are some added
questions: Is MPI-F thread-safe ?  Is there some thread library on SP2 ?

I have some dificulties in getting user's guides by now ...

Thanks,

Enric
