[Barton Miller <bart@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

*********************************************************************
*      Release 4.0.0 of the MRNet Multicast/Reduction Network     *
*********************************************************************

The new 4.0.0 release of MRNet is now available. This release of MRNet
includes a source distribution for Unix/Linux and Windows platforms,
plus pre-built binaries for Windows. The release also includes
associated manuals.

Improvements made to MRNet since version 3.1.0 have been incorporated into
version 4.0.0.

MRNet is a customizable, high-performance software infrastructure for
building scalable tools and applications.  It supports efficient
multicast and data aggregation functionality using a tree of processes
between the tool's front-end and back-ends.  MRNet-based tools may use
these internal processes to distribute many important tool activities,
for example to reduce data analysis time and keep tool front-end loads
manageable.

More information about MRNet, including downloads for binary and
source, can be found at:

Technical papers about MRNet can be found in the 'Middleware' section at:

The new features and fixes include:

    * New threadsafe version of lightweight back-end library
    * New support for very large arrays
    * Numerous bug fixes and performance enhancements

MRNet is designed to be a highly-portable system. The source code has
been compiled using both GNU GCC and native platform compilers. We have
tested MRNet components on the following platforms:
 - Linux        : x86, x86_64, powerpc32, powerpc64, Cray XT
 - Windows      : x86 (Visual Studio 2008)
