[mvapich-discuss] mpiexec , mpiexec_osu, mpirun_rsh in mvapich2-1.6

[Jonathan Perkins]

mpiexec, mpiexec_osu, and mpirun_rsh are all different.  mpiexec_osu
is a frontend to mpirun_rsh that is aimed at being more compatible
with the standard mpiexec options.  Depending on the version of
mvapich2 that you're using, mpiexec either points to the hydra process
manager from mpich2 or to the older mpd launcher.

Please look at the following links in our mvapich2-1.6 userguide for
more information.
