I'm setting up a compute cluster that uses MPI to generate calculations on the fly in short amounts of time &lt;3s. I was wondering what kind of overhead times I would possibly see if I submitted jobs using the CCP API, or should I just use the Cluster.ExecuteCommand method instead?<div><br></div><div>If neither of these is a possibility because the overhead of the CCP framework is too large, is there a way to bypass that and still harness the power of the MPI.NET?</div>© 2009 Microsoft Corporation.

Those both enable more calculations to be done without paying a full job submission penalty for each one.Thu, 25 Jun 2009 01:56:43 Z2009-06-25T01:56:43Z
