[OMPI devel] Launch windows nodes from linux

2012-01-20 Thread Alex.Burton
Hi developers, I can see in the code that the part that launches processes on other machines on Windows is not compiled on other platforms because it uses COM. Is there another way of launching processes on Windows from non windows machines ? What would I need to do to write a daemon similar to

As promised earlier today, here are results from my Solaris platforms. Note that there are libtool-related failures below that may be worth pursuing. If necessary, access to most of my machines can be arranged for qualified persons. == GNU compilers with {C,CXX,F77,FC}FLAGS=-mcpu=v9 on SPARCs,

[OMPI devel] Violating standard in MPI_Close_port

No reason for doing so comes to mind - I suspect the original author probably started out doing a "free", then discovered that the overlying MPI code was passing in an array and so just converted it to a memset. Either way, it really should be the responsibility of the user's code to deal with t

Guess I'm confused. The launcher is running on a Linux machine, so it has to use a Linux service to launch the remote daemon. Can you use ssh to launch the daemons onto the Windows machines? In other words, can you have the Windows machine support an ssh connection? I did a quick search and fou
