1) Endian conversion - Open MPI does automatic endian conversion as

It should work, but it's not something we test very often. At one
point, it did work. :-)
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.
Aside from Windows, yes. As you noted in your second post, our
Windows support is incomplete.
