Hello all, I have a couple of questions regarding the support for heterogeneous clusters. I appreciate your responses to clarify the same.
1) Endian conversion - Open MPI does automatic endian conversion as long as the size of the data types on the communicating nodes is equal. This support is fully qualified from v1.1. Is this a correct statement? 2) Windows and *nix clusters - Is it possible to have a single MPI application spawned and executed across a cluster of mixed operating systems like Windows & other flavours of UNIX (Solaris, Linux, AIX) etc? My understanding is from MPICH2, using SMPD process manager, it is. Thank you for your time. Regards, Kalyan
