Greetings, I would like to suggest a new ports category for programs, libraries, compilers, etc. designed for usage in parallel computational clusters. I noticed while CVSUP'ing the ports collection yesterday that a port of MPI (MPICH, specifically) has been added, but under the category "net". As a category name, I offer "distributed" or "parallel" as a suggestion. Contents should include (for example) PVM (http://www.epm.ornl.gov/pvm/) OOMPI (http://www.cse.nd.edu/~lsc/research/oompi/) MPI (http://www.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/mpich/ - already ported) POVRAY patched for PVM (URL for this?) Any software distributed shared memory system, parallel compiler (mpC), RC5 client(?), etc. A good project would be to take the Beowulf cluster control software and port it to FreeBSD (sans the Linux kernel mods, of course). I apologize for the brevity of this post, but I'm doing Real Work at the moment and don't have time to compose a lengthy RFC on the proposed category :-) Best regards, Daniel J.
