Summary
The documentation page is heavily biased towards Windows and MS-MPI. All code samples, configuration snippets, and step-by-step instructions are exclusively for Windows nodes, using MS-MPI and Windows command-line tools (cmd.exe, mpiexec.exe, smpd.exe). Linux alternatives (Intel MPI, bash, Python) are mentioned only in passing, with no concrete examples or instructions. The code sample and walkthrough require Visual Studio and Windows executables, making it difficult for Linux/macOS users to follow or adapt the guidance.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux examples using Intel MPI, bash scripts, and Python, including pool creation, StartTask installation, and multi-instance task configuration.
  • Include step-by-step instructions for setting up Linux pools, installing Intel MPI via StartTask, and running MPI applications with mpirun.
  • Offer cross-platform code samples and clarify platform-specific differences in environment variables, resource files, and command lines.
  • List Linux tools and patterns alongside Windows ones, not only as afterthoughts or in notes.
  • Reference Linux-focused code samples and walkthroughs with equal prominence.
