[OMPI users] Multiple mpiexec's within a job (schedule within a scheduled machinefile/job allocation)

2006-12-11 Thread Maestas, Christopher Daniel
Hello, Sometimes we have users that like to do from within a single job (think schedule within an job scheduler allocation): "mpiexec -n X myprog" "mpiexec -n Y myprog2" Does mpiexec within Open MPI keep track of the node list it is using if it binds to a particular scheduler? For

Hi Chris Okay, we have modified the pernode behavior as you requested (on the trunk as of r12821)- give it a shot and see if that does it. I have not yet added the npernode option, but hope to get that soon. I have a question for you about the npernode option. I am assuming that you want n procs/

GM: gm_register_memory will be able to lock XXX pages (YYY MBytes) Is there a way to tell GM to pull more memory from the system? GM reserves all IOMMU space that the OS is willing to give it, so what is needed is a way to tell the OS and/or machine to allow a bigger chunk of IOMMU space to b
