+
+The user forum at 
+  http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/wsmp/forum
+has only one entry - a question: how much memory does wsmp use?
+It is dated 13 June, 2006.  There is no response.
+
+douar_wsmp (GNU/Linux) and MPI
+------------------------------
+
+wsmp has these X86_64 builds for GNU/Linux
+  GNU
+  Intel
+  PGI
+
+MPI options include
+  MPICH
+  OpenMPI
+
+We need to choose an MPI-compiler combination, in which the compiler
+matches one of the wsmp builds.  The possibilites are different for 
+each computer.
+
+ace-net (mahone)
+----------------
+  mpich-1.2.7/SunStudio
+    - no wsmp for this (Unless SunStudio is gnu-compatible ?)
+
+  mpich-1.2.7/gnu
+    - mpif90 not present
+    - Ross Dickson reports:
+        examples pwssmp_ex3.f and pwgsmp_ex1.f both segfault
+
+  mpich-1.2.7/PGI
+    - Ross Dickson reports:
+      MPICH builds (of the wsmp examples) using PGI compilers were unsuccessful.
+    - douar_wsmp reports (from the first call to wsmp):
+      3 - MPI_COMM_SIZE : Null communicator
+      [3]  Aborting program !
+      [3] Aborting program!
+      2 - MPI_COMM_SIZE : Null communicator
+      [2]  Aborting program !
+      [2] Aborting program!
+      0 - MPI_COMM_SIZE : Null communicator
+
+  openmpi-1.2.7/PGI-7.1
+    - candidate *
+    - examples have trouble...details on mahone...I forget right now.
+    - The content of the .err file suggests that wsmp has accepted its license;
+      however douar_wsmp reports a license problem:
+        WSMP-> initialisation pb         -900

+  OpenMPI/gnu

+
+* possible gotcha - does wsmp *need* mpich.?
