Some news on the MPI front.  SPEC, the benchmark people, recently created a
"High Performance Steering Committee" to develop benchmarks for the high
performance computing arena.  The latest meeting was June 7&8.  Here is an
interesting note from the minutes:

Motion (940008):	Intel proposed " The message passing version of
a candidate benchmark code must use PVM or MPI libraries to be
considered for the first release." HP seconded.

		For						Against

	DEC

	FAI	HP	KAI	(UMn/UIL)

Motion 940008 carried: 8-0-1
