[mpich-discuss] No requirement for smpd.exe in MPICH2-1.3.3

[Jayesh Krishna]

Hi,
 MPICH2 1.3.3 did not remove the requirement for smpd.exe .
 When using the "-localonly' option with mpiexec you do not need to have SMPD installed on the system. MPICH2 1.3.3 removed firewall issues when starting MPI jobs with the "-localonly" option.
 So you still need SMPD to be available, but you don't need to install SMPD or worry about firewall issues when running all MPI processes on the local node.

Regards,
Jayesh

I came across a note @ boinc.berkley.edu that stated mpich2-1.3.3 should remove the requirement for smpd.exe, as well as no firewall issues on Windows. I've downloaded and tried this method with the mpich-1.3.3r1-win-ia32 install and using the following command line "mpiexec -localonly -n 2 -channel nemesis:none cpi.exe" but it simply returns the following error "Uknown option -d". Will these functionality be included in the MPICH2-1.3.3 release?

Thanks,

Bobby
