No, Open MPI doesn't use the names in the hostfile to figure out which TCP/IP addresses to use (for example). Each process ends up publishing a list of IP addresses at which it can be connected, and OMPI does routability computations to figure out which is the "best" address to contact a given

I don't know if this is it, but if you use the name localhost, won't processes on both machines try to talk to 127.0.0.1? I believe you need to use the real hostname in you host file. I think that your two tests work because there is no interprocess communication, just stdout. On 08/08/11 23:4
