Jeff (and everybody else) First of all, pardon me if this is a stupid comment; I am learning the nuts-and-bolts of parallel programming; but my comment is as follows: Why can't this be done *outside* openMPI, by calling Linux's processor affinity APIs directly? I work with a blade server kind of

There is not, right now. However, this is mainly because back when I implemented the processor affinity stuff in OMPI (well over a year ago), no one had any opinions on exactly what interface to expose to the use. :-) So right now there's only this lame control: http://www.open-mpi.o

Tony - It looks like you ran into a bug in Libtool. Unfortunately, in order to better support Fortran 90 when building shared libraries, we use a beta version of Libtool 2, which means we're living a bit more on the edge than we'd like. I have a patch for this issue that I'll be submitt

We already have --pernode, which spawns one process per node. You can also launch one process/slot across all available slots by simply not specifying the number of processes. I gather this option would say "spawn N procs/node across all nodes" - I can understand the possible usefulness, but I'm n

[OMPI users] Parallel application performance tests

I have recently completed a number of performance tests on a Beowulf cluster, using up to 48 dual-core P4D nodes, connected by an Extreme Networks Gigabit edge switch. The tests consist of single and multi-node application benchmarks, including DLPOLY, GROMACS, and VASP, as well as specific tests o
