Thx. This is the allocation which is also confirmed by the Open MPI output. [eg: ] exactly, but not the one used afterwards by openmpi
- The application was compiled with the same version of Open MPI? [eg: ] yes, version 1.4.4 for all - Does the application start something on its own besides the tasks granted by mpiexec/orterun? [eg: ] no You want 12 ranks in total, and to barney.fft and carl.fft there are also "-mca orte_ess_num_procs 3 " given in to the qrsh_starter. In total I count only 10 ranks in this example given - 4+4+2 - do you observe the same? [eg: ] i don't know why the -mca orte_ess_num_procs 3 is added here... In the "Map generated by mapping policy" output in my last email, I see that 4 processes were started on each node (barney, carl and charlie), but yes, in the ps -elf output, two of them are missing for one node (barney)... sorry about that, a bad copy/paste. Here is the actual output for this node: 2048 ? Sl 3:33 /opt/sge/bin/lx-amd64/sge_execd 27502 ? Sl 0:00 \_ sge_shepherd-1416 -bg 27503 ?

[eg: ] if the "Map generated by mapping policy" is different than the sge allocation, then openmpi is not doing the right thing, don't you think ? Does the application use OpenMP in addition or other kinds of threads? The suffix "_mp" in the name "actranpy_mp" makes me suspicious about it. [eg: ] no, the suffix _mp stands for "parallel".
