Hi,

Both OpenSeesSP and OpenSeesMP in version 2.0.0 are MPI programs. In version 2.2.1, the parallel version modes are called THREADS and DISTRIBUTED_MPI. Does THREADS build an MPI program or OpenMP/pthread program? What's the difference between THREADS in 2.2.1 and OpenSeesSP in 2.0.0? Is OpenSeesMP in 2.0.0 the same as DISTRIBUTED_MPI in 2.2.1?


thanks,

what modes are you referring too? .. neither application uses threads, they both rely on distributed memory programming that MPI provides.
