[OMPI devel] process ordering/processes per node

2006-03-31 Thread Josh Aune
I have a simple hello program where each child prints out the hostname of the node it is running on. When I run this (on a bproc machine) with -np 4 and no host file it launches one process per node on each of the first 4 avaliable nodes. ie: $ mpirun -np 4 ./mpi_hello n1 hello n3 hello n2 hell

Actually, we have some sensor network folks that are interested in using OpenRTE for their applications. Their platforms can be small microprocessors, many with custom mini-operating systems. Almost none support IPv6 nor have any knowledge of that protocol. Ralph Christian Kauhaus wrote:

Hi folks Sorry to be coming late to the discussion - I'm on travel, so my comments will likely have long time delays in them. Only one contribution I would like to make. You are welcome to do whatever you like (subject to the usual approval procedure) in the MPI layer (the btl's for example)

Adrian Knoth : >(I really prefer the v6-mapped-v4 solution with a single > socket, thus eliminating this problem) One little problem here is that it is possible to disable the IPv6-mapped IPv4 addresses at least under Linux and some BSD variants. For Linux, have a look at sys.net.ipv6.bindv6only.
