Details

An updated openmpi package that fixes numerous bugs and adds several
enhancements is now available.

The Open Message Passing Interface (openmpi) is a software stack used for
cluster communications in High Performance Compute clusters.

The following changes are incorporated in this updated package:

* these updated packages upgrade the Open MPI stack from version 1.2.3 to
version 1.2.5, which includes a number of bug fixes and enhancements not
listed here. For a full list of bug fixes and enhancements, refer to the
Open MPI release announcements noted below.

Announcement noting changes from 1.2.3 to 1.2.4:

Announcement noting changes from 1.2.4 to 1.2.5:
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/announce/2008/01/0018.php

* the mpi-selector package was added and both lam (Local Area Multi-
computer) and openmpi were updated to use mpi-selector as the means of
controlling which MPI implementation is used both on a system-wide default
basis and on a user-selectable basis

OpenMPI users are encouraged to update to this release which incorporate
these upstream bug fixes and enhancements.
