[MPICH] MPICH2 1.0.6 inder Windows without DOMAIN

[madfran]

Hi,...

It is working,... under some conditions :-)
The origin of the confusion it is the README.winbin.rtf found in the 
C:\Program Files\MPICH2 directory. The procedure indicated perhaps is usefull 
for a windows working under a DOMAIN, but is useless if no DOMAIn exist.

I discover,
- If they several machines windows, only ones without register DOMAIN are
  able to "see" the others.
- I need to install MPICH2 from the distribution msi in all machines.

Questions,
- It is not clear what is the purpouse of the password asked in each 
installation (I used always the same)
- The use of the user/password introduced under mpiexec -register

In this moment I am working under a windows XP dual-core.
I am able only to launch cpi.exe, found under C:\Program Files\MPICH\bin\, 
but I think only one CPU are used. Not both.

No succes with any other program built under cygwin.
