Hello,

Is it possible with mpich to run programs using simultaneously
shared and distributed memory?. On a cluster of multiprocessor UNIX
machines, is it possible to have a global communicator allowing
communications in distributed memory between different computer and a
communicator for each multiprocessor computer using shared memory?
If it is not possible with mpich but with another version of
MPI, could someone give me information about this?

Roland
