FutureGrid announces availability of new software on Bravo:  PAPI 4.2.0 and OpenMPI 1.5.4 (includes VampirTrace 5.8.4).

PAPI (Performance Application Programming Interface) was created to design, standardize, and implement a portable and efficient API
(Application Programming Interface) to access the hardware performance counters found on most modern microprocessors.
