Hi, I'm running Myrinet on Solaris and VxWorks and build both of them locally. I belive the hardest part of the migration process would be to understand the socket infrastructure of the platform you're porting to. Once you understand how the hooks work, the rest would be easy. Usually, there's example code to work from. As a side note, I found it very easy to port MPICH-GM to VxWorks.

I was wondering if anyone on this mailing list has any insight as to how difficult implementing Myrinet socket migration would be (so that MPICH-GM jobs could be migrated to different nodes). I've seen recent discussion on the Beowulf mailing list about TCP/IP migration difficulty, but was wondering if Myrinet might be any easier. I'm not very familiar with the Myrinet drivers, which is why I'm asking people who are. Thanks. -- Jared Hodge Institute for Advanced Technology The University of Texas at Austin 3925 W.
