Dear OpenMPI List:
>From looking at a recent thread, I see an mpirun command with shared memory and mx: mpirun -mca btl mx,sm,self -np 2 pi3f90.x This works. I may have forgot to mention it, but I am using 1.1.2. I see there is an -mca mtl in version 1.2b1 . I do not think this exists in 1.1.2. Still, I would like to know what -mca is given automatically. Thanks, Tony Anthony C. Iannetti, P.E.

I am running into a problem. When I run on one processor per node, OpenMPI runs just fine. When I run on two processors per node (slots=2), it seems to take forever (something is hanging). Here is the command: mpirun -mca btl mx,self -np 2 pi3f90.x However, if I give the command: mpirun -np 2 pi3f90.x The process runs normally. But, I do not know if it is using the Myrinet network. Is there a way to diagnose this problem. mpirun -v and -d do not seem to indicate which mca is actually being used. Thanks, Tony Anthony C. Iannetti, P.E.
