<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am migrating an application that currently uses MVAPICH on Linux, to MPICH2 on Windows 2008 Server. The system has multiple nodes connected by a Infiniband (IB) network (using Mellanox HCA). </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Got few quick questions -</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1) Does the latest Windows version of MPICH-2 support IB channel selection ?... if so, does the setting "mpiexec</FONT> <FONT FACE="CMTT10">-env MPICH2_CHANNEL ib ...."</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">is all that's required to get that working (I already have the IB drivers installed)</FONT></P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2) Does this MPICH-2 support "One Sided Communication" with "Passive" target synchronization ( using MPI_lock( ), MPI_unlock( ) calls ), and if so, does it take advantage of the RDMA feature of IB ?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks in advance,</FONT>
