Try copying the *.dlls to C:\mpich2\bin and let us know if it works.<br>

Jayesh,<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks for the information regarding smpd.exe.<br>
<br>
<br>
I still have a question as to how I would run without installing smpd. I've tried the following:<br>
I copied smpd.exe, mpiexec.exe to a dir named C:\mpich2\bin, I then added this dir my to my PATH. I also copied mpich2mpi.dll, mpich2nemesis.dll, and cpi.exe to C:\mpich2 . I then unistalled mpich2-1.3.3rc1 and rebooted. Next I tried the following in the c:\mpich2 dir ".\bin\mpiexec.exe -localonly 2 cpi.exe" The following output is what I get:<br>
<br>
C:\mpich2>.\bin\mpiexec.exe -localonly 2 .\cpi.exe<br>
Unknown option: -d<br>
Error while connecting to host, No connection could be made because the<br>
target machine actively refused it. (10061)<br>
Connect on sock (host=bhunter-lt.erdc.hpc.mil, port=8676) failed,<br>
exhaused all end points<br>
Unable to connect to 'bhunter-lt.erdc.hpc.mil:8676',<br>
sock error: Error = -1<br>
<br>

unable to start the local smpd manager.<br>
<br>
<br>
C:\mpich2><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Note: I don't have admin privileges on the machine.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help.<br>
<br>

Hi,<br>
MPICH2 1.3.3 did not remove the requirement for smpd.exe .<br>
When using the "-localonly' option with mpiexec you do not need to have SMPD installed on the system. MPICH2 1.3.3 removed firewall issues when starting MPI jobs with the "-localonly" option.<br>
So you still need SMPD to be available, but you don't need to install SMPD or worry about firewall issues when running all MPI processes on the local node.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Jayesh<br>

<br>
I came across a note @ <a href="http://boinc.berkley.edu">boinc.berkley.edu</a> that stated mpich2-1.3.3 should remove the requirement for smpd.exe, as well as no firewall issues on Windows. I've downloaded and tried this method with the mpich-1.3.3r1-win-ia32 install and using the following command line "mpiexec -localonly -n 2 -channel nemesis:none cpi.exe" but it simply returns the following error "Uknown option -d". Will these functionality be included in the MPICH2-1.3.3 release?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Bobby<br>
