LAM/MPI 7.1 will support Cygnus environment under Windows. The LAM team has finished porting LAM/MPI to Cygwin (kernel version 1.5.5). Currently, tcp, lamd, sysv and usysv RPIs are supported. romio is not supported. If you are interested in starting to use LAM/MPI under Cygwin right away, please download our nightly trillium tar-ball . There are some special instructions to be followed in order to install the sysv and usysv modules. Please refer to the LAM/MPI User’s guide and LAM/MPI Installation guide for more instructions. Since there are some issues with the use of the native cygwin terminal for standard Io redirection, it is advised to run MPI applications on xterm. For more information on getting X services installed for Cygwin, please refer to the XFree86 project Although we tried to port the complete functionality of LAM/MPI to Cygwin, because of some outstanding portability issues, execution of LAM/MPI applications on Cygwin may not always be reliable.
