mpd needs an account
 

Hello:

I am running Star CCm 4.02 in a network on windows XP. Everything was installed but we have not configured anything about mpich.
When starting running in parallel the following message appears:
"mpd needs an account to launch processes with:" and nothing more.

What can I do?

How to configure mpich?

Thank you very much in advance

CCS needed?
 

Hello again:

I was reading some articles and i found about Computer Cluster Server (CCS).

Is it needed? I do not know anything about it.

Thank you very much again

See Star-CD FAQ, page 6, for MPICH setup for Windows.

At least that's the way it was in v.3.26

Here's what you do:

- register the same user and password in MPIRegister.exe, which is in:
Program Files\MPICH\mpd\bin\
- when starting a parallel job, in the Command box of the Create/Open simulation dialog box, add "-collab" without the quotes to the end.

That's it!
