+OpenSM provides an implementation for an InfiniBand Subnet Manager
+and Administrator. Such a software entity is required to run
+for in order to initialize the InfiniBand hardware (at least
+one per each InfiniBand subnet).
+
+Run the SlackBild script with the environment variable METIS set to
+anything but "no" to enable metis support for nue routing:
+
+ env METIS=yes ./opensm.SlackBuild
+
+The optional dependency "metis" can be installed from either the
+"metis" or the "suitesparse" package, both of which are available
+on SlackBuilds.org.
