"Installing and Using MPICH, MPICH-GM, and MPICH-MX on Linux Systems",
　IBM Redpaper, Publish Date: 06 June 2006, Number of pages: 16
　http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/abstracts/redp4183.html
　"In this Redpaper we present simple scripts to build and install the MPICH, MPICH-GM, and MPICH-MX
　 packages using PATHSCALE compilers on EM64T systems running RHEL3 and Opteron systems running
　 SLES9. Then we show how to build MPI applications using other compilers (GNU GCC compilers, PGI
　 compilers, and Intel compilers) without rebuilding the MPICH, MPICH-GM, and MPICH-MX libraries."

　Christopher Lazou, HiPerCom Consultants, Ltd., HPCwire, June 9, 2006
　http://www.hpcwire.com/hpc/684158.html
　"At the recent NEC User Group meeting in Toronto Canada, Thomas Sterling gave a keynote address
　 to share his thoughts about some of the key challenges facing the high performance computing community.
　 At the event, contributing editor Christopher Lazou caught up with Sterling, where they discussed these
　 challenges and talked about some possible solutions."



Release of Zoltan 2.0
　http://www.cs.sandia.gov/Zoltan/
　"The Zoltan library includes a suite of parallel algorithms for static and dynamic partitioning of problems over
　 sets of processors. Zoltan is used in many scientific computing applications, such as adaptive finite element
　 computations, particle methods, and multiphysics simulations. Zoltan contains geometric methods (like
　 Recursive Coordinate Bisection), interfaces to popular graph partitioners, and new parallel hypergraph
　 partitioners."
