Dear MPI experts,

I stumble with the following issue:
From one hand, MPICH seems to require an executable
to be present on each workstation in the cluster (I may
be wrong with this though - I only recently started playing
with included examples);
From another hand, we want to avoid installing Linux
on each workstation, so it would be preferable to boot
them from network.

Is it possible to meet these 2 requirements simultaneously,
or should I look for another package for distributed
calculations ? Which one than ?

Thanks a lot for any hints,
Rgds,

Andrei
