Hi Vipin ,
Thanks alot for the reply.
I went through the FAQ and it also answered some of my questions.
But my problem is, since I am using TCP/Ethernet I guess that MPI uses
SSH/RSH to communicate between peers.
And for that, each peer should have the copy of the application right?
I use 1.2.7rc2 (from Debian/Lenny repo) , and I didn't see the option
"--preload-binary" , is it because the lower version?
Bets regards,
umanga.
