Sayantan,

Thank you for your reply.
I'm sorry about unclear information about the application,
because this application is our supercomputer user's.

Then I need to ask the user the detail of this application.
Probably I'll send you a correct information on Monday.

I'm in flight 10 hours from now, then I'm sorry that I cannot send any
information.

# I wonder I saw you on a taxi toward MPI Forum ?

Thank you,
Hideyuki
