Hi Jody, I did not explain my problem very well.
I have an application called mdrun. It was compiled and linked using openMPI. I want to run mdrun on 8 nodes of my cluster in parallel. Just me. Not multiple users. So I want to launch the openMPI version of mdrun so that it only uses the input files on the node from which it is launched (the head node) and does not look for any input files on the other seven nodes where it spawns the 7 other processes. With MPICH I use the procgroup capability and mdrun only looks for its input files on the node from which it is launched, using the same mdrun parameters as the ones I tried to use with openMPI So, how can I replicate the behavior of MPICH with openMPI? Thanks for your help.
