The problem is in your cmd line: mpirun --np 2 --nolocal APPNAME You forgot to include a -hostfile or -host option, so OMPI only knows about your local node - which you told it not to use. Provide a hostfile, or specify a set of hosts with -host, and it should work fine. Ralph On Fe

[OMPI users] 3.5 seconds before application launches

2009-02-24 Thread Vittorio
Hi! I'm using OpenMPI 1.3 on two nodes connected with Infiniband; i'm using Gentoo Linux x86_64. I've noticed that before any application starts there is a variable amount of time (around 3.5 seconds) in which the terminal just hangs with no output and then the application starts and works well.
