<DIV><SPAN class=561492419-12022008><FONT face=Arial

don't need all the windows machines to be in the same domain to run your
MPI application. However you must make sure that all the machines have a
local user with the same username+password . You can register, say user 2, using
mpiexec (mpiexec -register -user 2) and use that user to run your MPI app
(mpiexec -user 2 -n 10 myapp.exe). </FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#000000>There is no tool currently to monitor the status of MPI apps
(Although we have plans for the same). You can check the status of the process
manager, smpd, from any machine by specifying the hostname as part of the
"-status" option of smpd (smpd -status hostname). This command will let you know
if PM/smpd is running on the host. </FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
