nd perhaps get the SLURM version working sometime this month - but they will need validation before being included in an official release. I can keep you posted if you like - once this gets into our repository, you are certainly welcome to try it out. I would welcome feedback on it. Hope that he

Hi, I am readying an openmpi 1.2.5 software stack for use with a many-thousand core cluster. I have a question about sending small messages that I hope can be answered on this list. I was under the impression that if node A wants to send a small MPI message to node B, it must have a credit to do
