Are you doing anything like >http://slashdot.org/interviews/00/06/01/133232.shtml >this with Myrinet? No is the short answer.

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. -- Brian Orpin BAE SYSTEMS, Edinburgh "If you really know C++, there isn't much you can't do with it, though it may not always be what you intended!"
