How are you running your batch job? Unlike some MPI implementations, Open MPI jobs can not be started under SLURM without the use of mpirun. You can either run mpirun under an interactive session: srun -N 4 -A mpirun -np 4 ./foobar or from a batch script: echo "mpirun -np 4 ./foobar" > foo.sh chmod +x foo.sh srun -N 4 -b foo.sh But you can't submit your application directly without mpirun. This is a feature we would like to support in the future, but there are some licensing issues (we would have to link with their GPL'ed libraries, which wouldn't work so well for us).
