<DIV></DIV>Thanks for the response. I found the following in the MPICH2_1.0.3
release notes:<BR><BR>-<TT> The CH3 device does not presently support
heterogeneous communication. That<BR> is to say that the processes
involved in a job must use the same basic type<BR> sizes and
format. The sizes and format are typically determined by the<BR>
processor architecture, although it may also be influenced by
compiler<BR> options. This device does support the use of
different executables (e.g.,<BR> multiple-program-multiple-data, or
MPMD, programming).<BR><BR><BR>Which is just as you stated. Do you know if

again.<BR><BR>Ken<BR></TT><BR><BR><BR>Rajeev Thakur wrote:<BR>

Subject: [MPICH] MPICH2 v1.02 in heterogeneous enviroment
I'm using MPICH2 v1.02 with IBM AIX 5.2 and Red Hat Linux. My program
works fine
if I just run on Linux machines or just IBM machines but
fails with the
following message when
trying to run on both IBM and Linux at the same time.
Fatal error in MPI_Comm_spawn: Internal MPI error!, error stack:
MPI_Comm_spawn(128):
MPI_Comm_spawn(cmd="/home/ken/DUKE/Formosa-link/New/FPSIM3/Lin
ux/fpsim3.exe",

intercomm=2005b858, errors=2002fff0) failed

Is it possible to use MPICH2 in a heterogeneous environment?
Thanks.
