The Windows support is planned, but we don't have a definite time table. Much of the work has been done, although there are still pieces missing. I believe remote launching is one of those pieces. The Windows support will be native and will not require Cygwin (which is part of what is taking us so long -- it's a bit project to move a UNIX-based code like Open MPI to Windows without sacrificing too much in maintainability and performance. Hope this helps, Brian _______________________________________________ users mailing list us...@open-mpi.org http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/users
