AQWA HPC question

  I have been told that AQWA does not work on Linux clusters. However, on a Windows cluster, Aqwa models can be solved on a single node only since Aqwa is not MPI aware. Could you clarify what is meant by a node in this statement?
  
  Also, does AQWA work on HPC on a workstation?
  
  Thank you,

  Hi Alex,
  
  See here for our supported platforms by application. AQWA is MS Windows only.
  
  Single "node" in this context I believe means a single device (computer) within the cluster. A single node may have one or more CPU cores.
  
  Our AQWA online doc has a section called "4.4.1. Setting Aqwa Parallel Processing Options" - This explains that AQWA can make use of multiple CPU cores. So yes, AQWA can take advantage of HPC.
