Hi all,

IBM is interested in contributing some communication infrastructure software (called "SCI") that could be used by PTP for scalable communication on large clusters of distributed processors. One component of PTP that would immediately benefit from this is the parallel debugger, which could use the infrastructure to scale to much larger systems than it does currently, and is something that has been in need of improvement for some time (i.e. on my "wish list"). SCI is pure C code, and would replace a significant portion of the SDM, which is also written in C. There may be other components of PTP that could also benefit from this code, such as for performance analysis or other kinds of data collection. 

I'm interested in feedback from the PTP community as to whether this contribution would be useful and appropriate for the PTP project.

Thanks,
Greg_______________________________________________
