I have been running around in circles trying to figure out why I am not having success running the software with multiple processors and I though this group might be able to help me. Below are the results of a series of commands that I copied and pasted from the DOS window. Everything seems to be working as expected until I try to execute the MCNPX software. CPI examples ramps up to nearly 100% CPU usage.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling MPICH2, using an admin command prompt. SMPD and MPIEXEC.exe have been added as exceptions through the windows firewall although I am not sure how much windows is actually blocking because my company uses Trend MICRO Officescan and it has its own firewall. I have found that adding SMPD and MPIEXEC as exceptions through the windows firewall does not have an effect on the errors I am receiving. I am running low on ideas right now, and any help?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Here are the results from the command prompt.
