I'm curious whether people using PVM on the IBM SP and SP2 tend to use it
with the SP2MPI architecture (and the attendant limitations described in
pvm3/Readme.mpp), or with the the RS6K architecture (foregoing use of the
SP switch in user mode, just running on top of the IP stack over the
switch). Is there any reason one couldn't build PVM for both architectures
on the same SP in order to cater to both inclinations?

Thanks very much....Nick G.
