MPI version compatibility #3

Open orerocks opened 7 years ago

orerocks commented 7 years ago

Several of the GIF codes require MPI. MPICH2 is no longer maintained on Windows. Has anybody tried running the GIF MPI codes using the MS-MPI libraries? Or would the codes need to be recompiled?

I tried and the answer is they don't work with MS-MPI.

The MPI inversion codes do need to be recompiled to support MS-MPI. Although the MSMPI execution syntax is similar to MPICH2 (ie, mpiexec -n 4 ...) , they abort with an error locating FMPICH2.DLL
