OpneSeesMP on windows 8

[Kamesh9]

Hi all

I am trying to use OpenSeesMP on my windows 8 machine. I have downloaded and successfully installed MPICH2 (32 bit version 1.4.1p1), smpd is running and the command mpiexec -validate gives an output SUCCESS. I have tried to run the example problem in $MPICHROOT\examples and it runs fine. So I am assuming that installation of MPICH2 is correct. However when i use the command
mpiexec -np 6 OpenSeesMP filename.tcl
on command prompt nothing happens.
I use OpenSeesMP on my windows 7 machine with the same procedure and .tcl codes and it runs perfectly fine. I am not able to figure out the problem as to why it does not run on windows 8. Please suggest solutions to fix the problem.

Thanks

Thanks for your comment. I have also tried to reinstall MPICH2, I have also tried to run the example from MPICH2's directory and it runs fine.Also, the validation is successful and smpd is running, so i guess MPICH2 is fine. I use OpenSeesMP on windows 7, but when I use the same procedure on windows 8, it does not work. Can you please post the link where specific instruction to run OpenSeesMP on windows 8 are provided.

Thanks

i do not have access to a windows 8 machine to test it out for you.

[Kamesh9]

Because the example provided in MPICH2 installation directory is running fine, can there be any problem with the version of tcl in windows 8 ?

[fmk]

some questions that pop to mind:
1) does the sequential version work?
2) are you using a 32bit version of mpich and tcl?

[Kamesh9]

The sequential version works fine..
My system is 64 bit; tcl and mpich are both 32 bit versions

[fmk]

if the sequential runs, iy should not be a tcl problem.

1) have you tried a real simple script
puts "Hello World"

2) have you tried running the smpd in debug mode

[Kamesh9]

i have tried executing my regular codes in sequential mode and they run fine.
I ran smpd in debug mode; the following is the output. It gives some error but I dont know how to fix that

this would appear to be an error relating to use of windows sockets. the windows sockets are what mpich uses to do the parallel processing, and not something that s being probably used in your script. (OpenSees does use tcp sockets for certain classes .. but if you have a typical script it should not be used). it could just be that you are using
a new version of the mpi library and may just require me to recompile (or you to install an older version). i will need to find the current version i have on the windows side of this mac i am using that s currently booted into OS X.
