Hi Nick,
We have a working nm7 parallel setup using MPI on linux over our SGE cluster.
Based on your e-mail I found a match somewhere in the SGE stdout capture:
CREATING MUMODEL ROUTINE...
Recompiling certain components
USING PARALLEL PROFILE mpihydra.pnm
MPI TRANSFER TYPE SELECTED
Exit status = 1
IN MPI
Starting MPI version of nonmem execution ...
And thereafter I had a decent parallel run. Does the system create
subdirectories for each worker etc in your situation?
You might also want to look for this kind of statement in nonmem's report:
#PARA: PARAFILE=mpihydra.pnm, PROTOCOL=MPI, NODES= 16
Hope this helps,
Jeroen

Subject: [NMusers] MPI on linux Exit status=1
Hi,
I'm trying to help our local grid computing guys to get NONMEM running
with MPI on a Linux based grid.
We have NONMEM running with a pnm file asking for 8 nodes but the actual
run time is 10% longer than with a regular 'transfer' run. The only clue
I can see to the problem is the "Exit status=1" after the "MPI TRANSFER
TYPE SELECTED" message. The NONMEM runs appears to execute OK except for
no evidence that MPI is operating. Can anybody tell me if this exit
status is normal under Linux? If not what might it mean?
Nick
