[mpich-discuss] some questions about MPI

Hi Jayesh, thanks for your reply. > >> 1/ I wanted to configure a MFC project ...

I am developping a multi client/ multi server application, so saving the port name of each server and client into a file is gonna need a lot of synchronization, that's why i thought that maybe it's gonna be easier if the port was predetermined.

MPICH uses the same registered username/password to launch processes on all the nodes.Yes, I have the same username/password on all nodes, and i tried also to run the application as an administrator.
