Yu-Cheng Chou,

MPICH2 can run on Windows and Unix platforms and the libraries provided link
with Visual C/C++.

Subject: Run an MPICH program on Windows and Unix/Linux platforms in
parallel


Hi,
According to MPICH.NT FAQ, an mpich program cannot be run on Windows and 
non-Windows platforms in parallel due to the uncompatible tcp devices that 
are used by these two kinds of machines.

I would like to know if there is any MPICH-based solution (packages, 
patches, etc) to make the cross-platform execution feasible.

I would also like to know if there is any other MPI implementation, which 
was built using Microsoft Visual C compiler not Cygwin's gcc, allowing the 
above execution purposes.

If the MPI package was built using MSVC compiler, the libraries of this 
package can be interfaced from within other Windows applications more 
easily.
 
Thanks
