I am trying to obtain some information if MPI can be used across 2 different platforms(Linux and windows) for communication.
We currently have an appliation running on our linux cluster and another windows application on the desktop PC.
The application on the PC should spawn(MPI_spawn) the application on the linux cluster and starts the process of Send/Recieve back and forth(MPI_send, MPI_recv).
We were able to achieve this between 2 Windows Machines and have not yet tried it between Linux and PC. This is just a simple communication process and we are not trying to split the load for parallel computing.
Since MPI internally uses sockets for communication, I thought this may actually work.
I learnt that this could be acheived using Sockets for communication. But i would prefer using MPI if it is possible
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks
