These are more general distributed systems questions than MPI
questions. If you have specific questions about MPI, especially the
LAM/MPI implementation, please feel free to ask them here. However,
for questions about general distributed systems, you might be better
off with a good reference source (such as an advanced distributed
systems text book).
