We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

If you have Visual Studio installed on your computer, this will cause Intel MPI to fail and crash during the installation process. 

Install Lumerical and Microsoft MPI manually on your computer as shown in the Knowledge Base (KB).

Do not install Intel MPI using our bundled installer. Run the simulation using the default Job launching preset, Microsoft MPI.Â
