I read the release notes. It seems that LAM MPI runs on Cygwin
on top of Windows. But we would like to start an MPI singleton
from the Windows version of Matlab, not the Linux/Cygwin
version of Matlab.
So is it true that the communication between the Windows version
of Matlab and the MPI processes on a Linux cluster is only possible
through Windows sockets talking to Linux sockets? What do you think?
I would really like to avoid socket level programming if possible. :)
Thanks,
