Hi,

Could anybody tell me whether or not the IBM SP1 supports PVM?
By support, I mean using the high performance switches and
stuff.

I seem to recall having read somewhere that the switches were
designed to route IP packets, so, I would assume, PVM would be
supported transparently, but I have heard very different lately.
What I did hear is that only some kind of commercial IBM's
implementation of PVM would use the switches.

I'd be very grateful if someone could clear this up.

Many thanks,
