Hi all,

I know that Windows is not that widely used for HPC. How well is it's support tested in Charm++? In particular:

Fairly well supported.

1) what Windows versions are expected to work? Anything newer than Win98?

Most versions of windows are supported, including Windows HPC cluster

See the nightly build list for the combinations we maintain.

2) what networks are expected to work? Only net (UDP)? What about MPI?

Both net and MPI are supported.

3) Are all standard tests expected to pass?

Yes.

4) in general, how much pain should I expect when trying to run Charm++ on Windows cluster?

Should work fine on HPC Cluster.  If you want to build it yourself you will need to VC++ or Cygwin, binaries are available for the targets in our nightly test suite.

Thanks for your help!
