    For SPMD run overs multiple server, you have to setup a CLUSTER.

    Without cluster, you can not run SPMD.

    Does the above process also needs to set up cluster??

     

    If so, is it possible to setup virtual cluster with Ethernet connection?

    Technically, you can run SPMD on multi-core CPU with some MPI. But with only one server!

    So I don't think you got advantage comparing to SMP run on the same server.

    Cluster setup is NOT a easy job, and NOT for everyone :)/emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />
