SP2 Users,

    I'd like to let you know that we have recently completed an optimized
version of PVM for the SP2. It is implemented on top of IBM's version of
MPI. With our simple timing program we found that the performance using
psend/precv came close to that of MPL (within 10%), IBM's native message-
passing library. If any of you would like to try out the pre-released
version, please let me know. The condition is that you understand it is
not an official release, and that we expect feedback from you regarding
its performance.
