All Let me reiterate my (minimal, compared to other developers) support to the OpenMPI project. If all it takes is to build and run regression tests on a platform to add a feather in the cap, I am willing to do it. The low interest in Windows platform does not surprise me; most HPC

Sorry for my late reply; I've been in the MPI Forum and Open MPI engineering meetings all week. Some points: 1. Yes, it would be a shame to lose all the Windows support that Shiqing did. 2. Microsoft has told me that they're of the mindset "the more, the merrier" for their platform (i.e.,

Dear OpenMPI community, This email is about whether a commercial version of OpenMPI for Windows could be successful. I hesitated before sending this, but upon asking some others (notably Jeff) on this list, it seemed appropriate. We at Tech-X have been asking whether a commercial/freemium
