Are you running your job inside a torque job? If you don't, open mpi will not have a hostlist and will assume that it should launch everything on the localhost.
If you are launching inside a torque job, ensure that ompi was build with torque support properly - run ompi_info | grep tm If you see 1 or more tm plugins listed, ompi has torque support. Finally, make sure you're using the right mpicc and mpirun, etc. -jms Sent from my PDA.

Open MPI, mpiBlast were installed and my home directory lies in a directory "/data" which was shared by all nodes. Open Mpi was compiled with "--with-tm" to support Torque, and mpiBlast was compiled with "--with-mpi" to the directory where Open MPI installed. When I run mpiBlast by mpirun in command line, like node1 $ /data/open-mpi/bin/mpirun -np 34 /data/mpiblast/bin/mpiblast -p blastp -d nr -i test.faa -o test.out I noticed all 34 mpiBlast processes run on node1 only. This would not change if I submit job to Torque. I've searched the mailing list archives but it seems won't help. How to resolve this problem? Any suggestion will be appreciated! HZ Liu
