[Boost-users] boost MPI: unsupported functions & support on super computers ?

I am learning MPI, and have a few questions whether its
worth using boost MPI, since I need to run on many
flavours of unix.(linux clusters and AIX as a minimum)

o In the boost MPI documentation  it appears that many MPI
   functions are not supported (MPI_Bsend,etc).
   If I need this capability then does this mean I should not
   use boost MPI ? (or is there still a back door way
   of calling with the C API instead ? )

o Has any one managed to use boost MPI on
   Super-computers like:
   -  IBM/AIX.
   -  Fujitsu
   -  NEC
   Since we need to be able swap vendors.

Any help appreciated.

Ta,
