Go up one level in this thread


I have pointed this out several times.  It seems to go over your head...

Look on the web for MPI-softech, which is the name of the company that develops
and distributes MPI to all computer vendors using it.  Look up the president of
the company. Jennifer Skjellum will be the name you find.  She's married to
Anthony (Tony) Skjellum.  Who just happens to be the chair of the CIS department
at UAB (my boss).  If you go to the MPI web site, and look under "publications"
you will see many papers with "Anthony Skjellum" as co-author.

Could we agree that Tony _knows_ MPI?  Since he formed the company that
developed it?  Do you imagine he knows data communication?  Since this company
supplies the drivers for all the weird communication devices that MPI works
with?  Maybe you will "get the picture" eventually.  We don't just talk about
this and that kinds of data communications facilities here at UAB, we actually
use 'em.  So don't fall into the trap of thinking you "know more".  You most
assuredly do not, but look up the web site to see what I mean.  Then maybe we
can get of of this "academics don't know this or that..." nonsense...

You are using software developed by academics, on hardware developed by
academics...

You just didn't realize it...
