We can always build complicated solutions, but in some cases sane and simple solutions exists. Let me clear some of the misinformation in this thread. The MPI standard is clear what type of conversion is allowed and how it should be done (for more info read Chapter 4): no type conversion is allowe

Dear colleagues, FWIW, years ago I was looking at this problem and developed my own solution (for C programs) with this structure: --Be sure your code that works with ambiguous-length types like 'long' can handle different sizes. I have replacement unambiguous typedef names like 'si32', 'ui64'

Let me shed a different light on that. Once in a while, I run Open MPI between x86_64 and sparcv9, and it works quite well as far as I am concerned. Note this is the master branch, and I never try older nor releases branches. Note you likely need to configure Open MPI with --enable-heteroge

Sorry for a pedantic follow up: Is this (heterogeneous cluster support) something that is specified by the MPI standard (perhaps as an optional component)? Do people know if MPICH. MVAPICH, Intel MPI etc support it? (I do realize this is an OpenMPI forum) The reason I ask is that I have a mini Li
