+The `mpiexec` program from MSMPI can be used to launch applications on multiple nodes. There are two ways to launch applications 
+on multiple nodes:
+1. Using MS-MPI Launch Service:
+   * Start MS-MPI Launch Service on all the compute nodes
+   * Specify your compute nodes in the `mpiexec` command line (either using `hosts` or `hostfile`), for example:<br>
+      `mpiexec -c 1 -hosts 2 node1 node2 -wdir c:\Tests MPIHelloWorld.exe`<br>
+      The above command runs the `MPIHelloWorld.exe` program on two hosts (`node1` and `node2`) using one core from each node 
+2. Using `spmd`:
+   * Run `spmd -d` on all compute nodes
+      * The `spmd.exe` program is availble after installation of MSMPI (in the folder pointed by the `MSMPI_BIN` variable)
+   * Specify your compute nodes in the `mpiexec` command line (either using `hosts` or `hostfile`)

+## Compile and run a sample MPI code on Windows
+1. Download MS-MPI SDK and Redist installers and install them. The download link to a stable realease is available from [this](https://github.com/microsoft/Microsoft-MPI/releases) page.
+2. After installation, you can verify that the MS-MPI environment variables have been set correctly (you will want to use these environment variables in Visual Studio)
+![inline](./screenshots/set_msmpi.png)
+3. Open Visual Studio and create a Console App project. Let's name the project `MPIHelloWorld`
+   * Instead of creating a project, you may open the provided `MPIHelloWorld.vcxproj` project file in Visual Studio and go to step 7. 
+4. Use [this](MPIHelloWorld.cpp) code in the newly created project
+5. Setup the include directories so that the compiler can find the MS-MPI header files. Note that we will be building 
+for 64 bits so we will point the include directory to `$(MSMPI_INC);$(MSMPI_INC)\x64`. If you will be building for 32 bits 
+please use `$(MSMPI_INC);$(MSMPI_INC)\x86`
+![inline](./screenshots/inc_dir.png)
+6. Setup the linker options. Add `msmpi.lib` to the Additional Dependencies and also add `$(MSMPI_LIB64)` to the Additional 
+Library Directories. Note that we will be building for 64 bits so we will point the Additional Library Directories to $(MSMPI_LIB64). 
+If you will be building for 32 bits please use `$(MSMPI_LIB32)`
+![inline](./screenshots/lib_dir.png)
+7. Build the MPIHelloWorld project
+![inline](./screenshots/vs_build.png)
+8. Test run the program on the command line
+![inline](./screenshots/mpiexec.png)
+
+Alternatively, you can use Developer Command Prompt for your version of Visual Studio to compile and link the `MPIHelloWorld.cpp` 
+code (replacing steps 3-7 above). To build a 64-bit application, choose x64 Native Tools Command Prompt from the Visual Studio folder 
+in the Start menu.
+![inline](./screenshots/x64_prompt.png)
+
+To compile your program into an `.obj` file, go to the folder where `MPIHelloWorld.cpp` exists and run (you may ignore the warning message):<br>
+`cl /I"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\MPI\Include" /c MPIHelloWorld.cpp`
+![inline](./screenshots/compile.png)
+
+To create an executable file from the .obj file created in the previous step, run:<br>
+`link /machine:x64 /out:MPIHelloWorld.exe "msmpi.lib" /libpath:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\MPI\Lib\x64" MPIHelloWorld.obj`
+![inline](./screenshots/link.png)
+
+You may use the `nmake` command from Developer Command Prompt to compile and build the exmaple using the provided [`Makefile`](Makefile).
