[mpich-discuss] Hybrid HPC system

[Min Si]

I guess you might need to put all the MPICH binaries (e.g., 
hydra_pmi_proxy) to the same path on each node. I have executed MPICH on 
Intel MIC chips from the host CPU node where OS are different. The thing 
I did was:
1. build MPICH for both CPU node and MIC on the CPU node (you have done 
this step).
2. upload the MIC binaries to the same path on MIC chip as on the CPU node
    For example:
    - on CPU node : /tmp/mpich/install/bin holds the CPU version
    - on MIC :          /tmp/mpich/install/bin holds the MIC version
3. compile helloworld.c with the MIC version mpicc
4. execute on CPU node: mpiexe -np 2 -f <hostfile with mic 
hostnames>./helloworld

I think you should be able to follow step 2, but since your helloworld 
binary is also built with different OS, you might want to put it also 
into the same path on two nodes similar as we do for MPICH binaries.
