Re: [ptp-dev] Prepending MPI Launch Command

["Albert L. Rossi" <arossi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wyatt,

What exactly were you thinking of in terms of "support"?  A full UI widget, or just the ability to add this to the command-line/executable that is launched? Certainly the second option will be available in the PBS manager I'm working on (and this would depend on the user knowing which mpirun incantations to provide).  Fuller MPI UI support could also eventually be included, but it would be good to have some more specific requirements as to what features to support first.
