[mpich-discuss] Infiniband support on Windows

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). 
Got few quick questions -

1) Does the latest Windows version of MPICH-2 support IB channel
selection ?... if so, does the setting "mpiexec -env MPICH2_CHANNEL ib
...." is all that's required to get that working (I already have the IB
drivers installed)


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 ?

Thanks in advance,
Sashi
