can you try not specifiyng "max-slots" in the hostfile. if you are the only user of the nodes, there will be no oversibscibing of the processors. This one definetly looks like a bug, but as Ralph said there is a current disscusion and working on this component. Lenny. On Mon, Aug 17, 2009 at 2:37

Hi Lenny Thanks - using the full names makes it work! Is there a reason why the rankfile option treats host names differently than the hostfile option? Thanks Jody On Mon, Aug 17, 2009 at 11:20 AM, Lenny Verkhovsky wrote: > Hi > This message means > that you are trying to use host "plankton"
