Dear Mr. Palen Thank you very much for your instant reply. I will let you know if I face any problem in future.

I have a couple of questions to ask you: > 1. Is it possible to use a duo core or any multi core machine for > parallel computations? Yes a core is really another cpu, duel core is just two cpus packed (with some changes) into a single socket so to MPI it is the same as a duel cpu machine. We use duel socket duel core all the time (mpirun -np 4 app) all the time. > 2. Is that a a right procedure to run a parallel job as explained > above?(using mpif77 -g -o code code.f and running it using > mpirun -np 2 ./code) Yes this is correct, Once you have more than one node you will need to somehow tell mpirun use host x and host y, but right now it just assumes 'localhost' which is correct. Check out: http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running > 3. How do I know my code is being run on both the processors.(I am > a chemical engineering student and new to computational aspects) Run 'top' you should see two processes, one for each cpu at 100%, there should be a system summary at the top that gives you a percent for the entire machine make sure idle is 0%. > 4.

Nope looks like a good start, always check out man pages man mpirun If you guys have cluster guys on campus is best not to spend your time being admins, have some Unix SA's run the cluster and you focus on your science. But thats my opinion (and observations). > > Here is my CPU details: > processor : 0 > vendor_id : GenuineIntel > cpu family : 6 > model : 15 > model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz > stepping : 11 > cpu MHz : 2000.000 > cache size : 4096 KB > physical id : 0 > siblings : 2 > core id : 0 > cpu cores : 2 > fpu : yes > fpu_exception : yes > cpuid level : 10 > wp : yes > flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca > cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe > syscall lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good pni monitor > ds_cpl vmx smx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm > bogomips : 5322.87 > clflush size : 64 > cache_alignment : 64 > address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual > power management: > > processor : 1 > vendor_id : GenuineIntel > cpu family : 6 > model : 15 > model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz > stepping : 11 > cpu MHz : 2000.000 > cache size : 4096 KB > physical id : 0 > siblings : 2 > core id : 1 > cpu cores : 2 > fpu : yes > fpu_exception : yes > cpuid level : 10 > wp : yes > flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca > cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe > syscall lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good pni monitor > ds_cpl vmx smx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm > bogomips : 5319.97 > clflush size : 64 > cache_alignment : 64 > address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual > power management: > > > Thank you > Ramesh > > > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list > us...@open-mpi.org > http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/users > > Brock Palen Center for Advanced Computing bro...@umich.edu (734)936-1985 _______________________________________________ users mailing list us...@open-mpi.org http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/users
