Support for multiple versions of MPI has been added. You can use a different version 
of MPI and achieve the high-bandwidth and low-latency performance that is 
standard with InfiniPath MPI. 

Also included is expanded operating system support, and support for the latest 
OpenFabrics software stack. 

Multiple InfiniPath cards per node are supported. A single software installation works 
for all the cards. 

Additional up-to-date information can be found on the QLogic web site:
