<div>Thanks, Balaji.<br>

I took a quick look on persist bootstrap. It seems what I want and I will try it.<br>
<br>
</div>
one thing puzzles me is what's "persist" means here for hydra. what's means for hydra_bss_persist in Makefile.mk under hydra/tools/bootstrap/? the bss is the .bss section in executable file?<br>
<br>
</div>
Thanks! <br>

<div>Hydra supports a bunch of daemon processes, including ssh. There is a daemon process included with MPICH called "persist", which you could use for this purpose, but it's not really maintained. You could try it.</div>

<div>Hi, all:<br>
<br>
I'm working on port the MPICH2 3.1.4 to an embedded environment. I met some problems for hydra process management, Could anyone help me?<br>
<br>
1. For the old MPD, before the mpirun, there's a daemon process running on all computer nodes. But I don't see what's hydra's daemon process in the current MPI document. Could you give me some hints?<br>
<br>
2. As we run the MPICH2 in a resource constraint environment, the SSH or the other linux-based launcher may not be used. Does it exist any simple launcher running on the computer nodes before the mpiexec?<br>
<br>
3. What's my understanding for hydra is: once the Launcher process running on all computer nodes, I can use the mpiexec on the control node to start the parallel jobs? If so, the problem is: Could I start the Launcher process manually if there's no linux-based
launcher? <br>
<br>
</div>
Thanks!</div>
