Hi,
 The SHM channel is old (It is already deprecated on unix, it will be
deprecated on windows in the upcoming release). Use the newer Nemesis
channel (-channel nemesis) instead.

Subject: [mpich-discuss] -channel shm



Using mpich2 on windows, when we run mpiexec using the -localonly -channel
shm options, we see that all cores spin at all times(100% CPU Usage
History, Windows Task Manager).  Without, the -channel shm option, cores
show cpu activity only when they are actively computing.  Is that a way to
use the -channel shm option and not have the infinite spin limit on the
cores?
