err...VMPI is available to us peons without any hacking or extra tools - you just have to follow the destructions on the wiki. The problem is that vrad doesn't work for distributed OB compiles as per my post way back here http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg24322.html
If I'm not mistaken this tool does not resolve that, it is just a (very much appreciated - I'm not knocking it!) front end to the same stuff. <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg24830.html> Chris Minh wrote: > Kevin's tool actually has distributed computing (much like the > bally-hooed VMPI, which is unavailable to us peons) > I tested it and it works quite nicely.
