A forum is less about hardware or software and is more about building a community. Having said that:

Linux is fine (LAMP). The details are not so important without any usage stats, and since you have no users, worrying about CPUs, etc. is really not important. It's easy to move from one server to another.

The forum software should be supported by a large, activity community and have an extensible system (plugins, etc.). We went with vBulletin many years ago, but I don't recommend it now because I newer versions are far too "bloated" and I don't think you should start with some older, unsupported legacy version.

Having said that, I still like our vB 3.8 system and would not change our forum to another software, because we have many years developing code and plugins for it.

So, whatever you should, you should choose some modern LAMP forum software you like that has a large community of users and plugin developers; and has a fully open extensible system you can modify, install plugins / add-ons, and easily write your own code extensions as required.

MPI_Op_f2c(3)							      LAM/MPI							     MPI_Op_f2c(3)

NAME
MPI_Op_f2c - Convert an op handler from its Fortran representation to its C representation SYNOPSIS
#include <mpi.h> MPI_Op MPI_Op_f2c(MPI_Fint f_handle) INPUT PARAMETER
f_handle - Fortran op handle RETURN VALUE
op - C op handle NOTES FOR FORTRAN
All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK ) have an additional argument ierr at the end of the argument list. ierr is an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine in C. In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with the call statement. All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in Fortran. ERRORS
This function does not return the normal MPI_SUCCESS integer value upon success. Instead, it returns a handle to the converted object. If an error occurs, the appropriate NULL handle will be returned. SEE ALSO
MPI_Op_c2f(3) MORE INFORMATION
For more information, please see the official MPI Forum web site, which contains the text of both the MPI-1 and MPI-2 standards. These documents contain detailed information about each MPI function (most of which is not duplicated in these man pages). http://www.mpi-forum.org/ LOCATION
