[omniORB] Re: OmniORB and the SCALE suite

[Luis Sandoval]

Sai-Lai,

We are working on an implementation of a reliable implementation of SCALE
Channels for Myrinet. This work is just about to be completed, we are just
fixing details. Once SCALE Channels for Myrinet are ready we'll be able
just to plug omniORB over Myrinet. 

The 108 usec were obtained using UltraStation 2 (200 MHz) machines with
Solaris 2.5.

Regards,
Luis
