[mpich-discuss] one question

[Jayesh Krishna]

Hi,
 If you have developed your application on windows using MPICH2 you can
follow the instructions from the "MINIMAL INSTALLATION" section in
README.winbin.rtf document (available in your installation directory). Or
you can ask the user to install MPICH2 separately.
 I am providing the information from the README below (you can consider
the worker nodes as the user's compute node) for your reference,
 
==========================================================================
==
If you want to have worker nodes that do not have any tools on them, you
can simply copy smpd.exe to each node and execute "smpd.exe -install". 

smpd.exe is the only application required on each machine to launch MPICH2
jobs. But, MPICH2 applications require the mpich2 dlls. This requirement
can be satisfied by copying the mpich2 dlls to the windows\system32
directory on each node. Then any mpich2 application can run on those
systems. This is what the installer does. If you don't want to copy the
mpich2 dlls to each machine, then you need to place the dlls in the same
location as the executable you are going to launch.

For example, if you have a directory called \\myserver\mysharedfolder and
you have myapp.exe and *mpich2*.dll in that directory then you can execute
this command: "mpiexec -n 4 \\myserver\mysharedfolder\myapp.exe"

Note: There are several mpich2 dlls and depending on your build target
(Fortran, C, Debug or Release) you will need the corresponding dlls in the
application directory.

==========================================================================

  Please find below the list of dlls (you can find them in
c:\windows\system32 directory in your machine) installed with MPICH2,

Subject: [mpich-discuss] one question


I have a question about deliver our application with MPICH2. We are build
some applications using MPICH2. When we deliver our executables to
customer, what MPICH2 stuff do we have to ship to customer at same time? 
 
Thanks
