Intel(r) Threading Building Blocks (Intel TBB) offers a rich and
complete approach to expressing parallelism in a C++ program.
It is a library that helps you take advantage of multi-core
processor performance without having to be a threading expert.
Intel TBB is not just a threads-replacement library. It represents
a higher-level, task-based parallelism that abstracts platform
details and threading mechanisms for scalability and performance.

Changes in 1.3
# OVERALL: Initial support for fine-grained threading in
ch3:nemesis:tcp.
# OVERALL: Support for Asynchronous Communication Progress.
# OVERALL: The ssm and shm channels have been removed.
# OVERALL: Checkpoint/restart support using BLCR.
# OVERALL: Improved tolerance to process and communication failures
when error handler is set to MPI_ERRORS_RETURN. If a communication
operation fails (e.g., due to a process failure) MPICH2 will return
an error, and further communication to that process is not
possible. However, communication with other processes will still
proceed normally. Note, however, that the behavior collective
operations on communicators containing the failed process is
undefined, and may give incorrect results or hang some processes.
# OVERALL: Experimental support for inter-library dependencies.
# PM/PMI: Hydra is now the default process management framework
replacing MPD.
# PM/PMI: Added dynamic process support for Hydra.
# PM/PMI: Added support for LSF, SGE and POE in Hydra.
# PM/PMI: Added support for CPU and memory/cache topology aware
process-core binding.
# DEBUGGER: Improved support and bug fixes in the Totalview support.
# Build system: Replaced F90/F90FLAGS by FC/FCFLAGS. F90/F90FLAGS are
not longer supported in the configure.
# Multi-compiler support: On systems where C compiler that is used to
build mpich2 libraries supports multiple weak symbols and multiple aliases,
the Fortran binding built in the mpich2 libraries can handle different
Fortran compilers (than the one used to build mpich2). Details in README.
# Several other minor bug fixes, memory leak fixes, and code cleanup.

--program transforms fix.
- Allow hostfiles to specify usernames on a per-host basis.

per request from the BSD maintainers.
- Minor man page fixes.

external installation of libltdl.

memory message passing. See http://runtime.bordeaux.inria.fr/knem/
and the README file for more details.
- Updated shared library versioning scheme and linking style of MPI
applications. The MPI application ABI has been broken from the
v1.3/v1.4 series. MPI applications compiled against any prior
version of Open MPI will need to, at a minimum, re-link. See the
README file for more details.
- Added "fca" collective component, enabling MPI collective offload
support for Voltaire switches.
- Fixed MPI one-sided operations with large target displacements.
Thanks to Brian Price and Jed Brown for reporting the issue.
- Fixed MPI_GET_COUNT when used with large counts. Thanks to Jed
Brown for reporting the issue.

MPI_COMM_CREATE_KEYVAL, MPI_GREQUEST_START, MPI_REGISTER_DATAREP,
MPI_TYPE_CREATE_KEYVAL, and MPI_WIN_CREATE_KEYVAL.

- If the PML determines it can't reach a peer process, print a
slightly more helpful message. Thanks to Nick Edmonds for the
suggestion.
- Make btl_openib_if_include/exclude function the same way
btl_tcp_if_include/exclude works (i.e., supplying an _include list
overrides supplying an _exclude list).
- Apply more scalable reachability algorithm on platforms with more
than 8 TCP interfaces.
- Various assembly code updates for more modern platforms / compilers.
- Relax restrictions on using certain kinds of MPI datatypes with
one-sided operations. Users beware; not all MPI datatypes are valid
for use with one-sided operations!
- Improve behavior of MPI_COMM_SPAWN with regards to --bynode.
- Various threading fixes in the openib BTL and other core pieces of
Open MPI.
- Various help file and man pages updates.

like networked filesystems.

- Add pkg-config(1) configuration files for ompi, ompi-c, ompi-cxx,
ompi-f77, ompi-f90. See the README for more details.
- Removed the libopenmpi_malloc library (added in the v1.3 series)
since it is no longer necessary
- Add several notifier plugins (generally used when Open MPI detects
system/network administrator-worthy problems); each have their own
MCA parameters to govern their usage. See "ompi_info --param
notifier <name>" for more details.
- command to execute arbitrary commands (e.g., run a script).
- file to send output to a file.

I managed to trace things to the file libmetrics/netbsd/metrics.c in
the get_netbw function. Apparently, the code in get_netbw violates
alignment constraints for sparc64. I attached a patch against the result
of a "make patch" in parallel/ganglia-monitor-core. While I was at it, I
also changed proc_run_func somewhat to only count actually running
processes (having a look at NetBSD's ps(1) implementation) - without the
change, I got around 30 running processes on an idle machine.
