cygwin/MPI-question

[Franz Th. Langer]

Hi Satish,

thanks very much for quick infos!

I understand that I have to use  mpirun or mpiexec.
(I still dont know how the system knows which procs can be used?)

(in rexecshell one can fill in a list with the node-names)

my questions arise out of the following situation:

under cygwin:

1. I downloaded Petsc and made the necc. definitions

2. make all (everything ok!)

3. make test ( (everything ok!)

under the tests there are also test for parallelizations!

I still dont know how Petsc was doing this tests???

I may have missed something , but I never found a call to mpirun or mpiexec?

perhaps you can explain it?

Best regards
Franz
