Myrinet and Ada

[Brian Orpin]

Has anyone any experience of Myrinet, it's GM message passing system and
API and interfacing to it from Ada.

Any information however brief would be appreciated.

I was going over my comp.lang.ada mail and noticed no one replied in-list.
I dont have any helpful information for you, but am curious myself why you
asked.  Are you doing anything like

No is the short answer.  The longer answer is that we are looking at
putting together a system with ~20 processors (probably PowerPC) to do
some frame rate work.  This will inevitably need interprocessor comms at
a fairly high rate and one of the suggestions is Myrinet.  It is all a
bit fuzzy at the moment.
