Hello,
I don't know if the question pertains to Rmpi, snow or snowfall.
I run my job by:
mpirun -np N -hostfile $PBS_NODEFILE RMPISNOW -f my-script.r --slave
In the snowfall sfInit call I have to specify one less CPU respect to
the mpirun call
sfInit(parallel=TRUE, cpus=N-1, type="MPI")
otherwise I receive an error similar to: "cluster size N-1 already
running" (sorry I don't remember the exact message)
Is this normal? In this case, if I want to call my script with - --cpus
option I have to resort to inelegant shell scripting to obtain N-1 from
the -mp argument.
In any case, is it possible to know in the script the number of
processes (-np #) requested to mpirun?
Thanks for your time!
mario
