Hello,

Thanks for the fast answer !

So i have to choose between MPICH-G2 ans MPIg.
Which one is the most relevant to use ?
It seems that MPIg works with the last WS-GRAM of GT4. Is it better to use this one ?

Many thanks,

Yann

Dear Yann,

Yes, it is possible to do that.  Both MPICH-G2 and MPIg are MPI
libraries designed to do precisely that - including automatically
automatically converting data in messages sent between clusters
with different architectures.

You can learn more about MPICH-G2 at www.niu.edu/mpi .
MPICH-G2 works only with pre-web services GRAM from the Globus Toolkit
(i.e., GT2).


You can learn more about MPIg (MPICH-G2's successor) via
anonymous ftp:

   The tarballs and instructions to build are all available on
   NIU's anon ftp server ftp.cs.niu.edu: pub/karonis/MPIg.
   There you can find mpig-1.0.6p1.1.tar.{bz2,gz} (same source,
   compressed differently) and index.html (build instructions).

MPIg works with the same pre-web services GRAM that MPICH-G2
does and it also works with WS-GRAM found in GT4.

Hello,

I would like to know if, with globus, i can run a parallel program over 2 clusters (running gridengine) at the same time, with mpich communications between the 2 clusters (and if the architecture is different too). I made a figure which expose what i want to do. Cluster A and Cluster B may have different architectures.

Thanks,

Yann
