Just out of curiosity... how will OpenMPI start processes under different accounts ? Through SSH while specifying different user names ?
I am assuming that no resource manager or scheduler will allow this.

My recommendation would be to contact your sysadmin and ask for an exception instead of going through with this insanity (forgive the judgement here).

Let’s hope you sys admin doesn’t find out about it - they tend to take a dim 
view of sharing accounts!

So long as the path and library path are set correctly, we won’t care.

Hi all,

I am wondering if it is possible that MPI programs can be run on machines with 
different account?

I am doing experiments with some MPI programs on a cluster. My problem is that 
my account is limited to use 4 machines (I need more machines to process data). 
I can borrow my friend's account and thus have access to another 4 machines but 
I am not sure whether it works.
