* This version of MPI is for Compaq TruCluster Server systems only.
** If you need to run both MPI 1.6 and 1.7 on the HP, then to execute MPI 1.6, you will need to issue the mpirun1.6 command. This script is included with the 1.7.2 package that you obtain from HP. To execute 1.7.2, issue the mpirun command. Note that MPI 1.6 will not run with ANSYS release 7.0.
*** Beginning at ANSYS 7.1, the use of MPI/Pro requires a license from MPI Software Technology, Inc.
NOTE: The DDS solver is only available with the optional Parallel Performance for ANSYS product.
