Q) Can I run MPICH applications on Windows9x/ME?
A) In a limited way yes. The TCP/IP device for Windows has code that only runs on
WindowsNT/2000/XP, but you can use the -localonly option to mpirun on a Win9x machine
(See Section Command line options for mpirun
). This means you can run multiple processes on a single Win9x
machine but you cannot run applications across multiple Win9x machines. This capability is provided
so you can compile and test programs on a single Win9x machine and then run the code on an NT cluster
at some other time. To install on a Win9x machine, download the source distribution, unzip the
contents, use mpirun from the bin directory and make sure the dlls in the lib directory are in your path.
