[Myrinet] GM 1.6.3 for Linux is now available

Dear Myrinet users,

GM-1.6.3 for Linux has been officially released. :-)

  http://www.myri.com/scs/linux.html

GM-1.6.3 includes the following enhancements:
     * Dramatically improved bidirectional bandwidth.
     * Shared library support to facilitate future upgrades
       for customers who choose to use the shared libraries.
     * A revised installation procedure to better support NFS
       shared installations and non-root installations.
     * Improved support for auto-loading GM drivers at boot 
       time with conventional /etc/init.d and /etc/rc.d 
       start/stop scripts.

Performance graphs for GM 1.6.3 can be found at the following

The installation procedure for GM has changed significantly between 
gm-1.5.2.1 and gm-1.6.3. Automated installation scripts will need
to be updated.

Abbreviated installation instructions are on the aforementioned
Linux download page.  Instructions can also be found in
the README-linux.

P.S.  We are incrementally upgrading all of the OS-specific
      drivers to 1.6.3.  GM 1.6.3 for Mac OS X is currently
      available, and the drivers for Windows, Solaris,
      Tru64, FreeBSD, and IRIX will be available soon.
