Hi list, I have recently started to wonder how hard it would be to add support for queuing systems to the tight integration function of OpenMPI (unfortunately, I am not a developer myself). Specifically, we are working with OpenLava (www.openlava.org), which is based on an early version of Lava/LSF and open source. It’s proven quite useful in environments where some level of LSF compatibility is needed, but without actually paying for a (rather pricey) LSF license.
Given that openLava shares quite a bit of DNA with LSF, I was wondering how hard it would be to add OL tight integration support to OpenMPI. Currently, OL enables OpenMPI jobs through a wrapper script, but that’s obviously not ideal and doesn’t work for some programs that have MPI support built-in (and thus expect to be able to just execute mpirun). Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Marc Marc P.
