Hi Noel,

Thank for the infos.
No, I am not familiar with the boost testing pages,  could you point me 
to some informations ?
I was only able to find a mailing list 
(http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-testing).

I guess I can contribute for those two libraries, at least on our 
supported platform (linux/intel).

Thanks

Alain

It’s kinda easy to break things and, given the scarcity of MPI and Graph Parallel testers, I prefer to test the PR’s, develop and master branches on internal resources to ensure I don’t hit any problems before I push them to github.
