That was exactly the problem I was having. We were use to doing it one way, with a certain other MPI library. After digging around and not doing it "the way it has always been done", I actually read the slurm quickstart page. That fixed all my problems. But thank you all for your help.

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).
