Hi Allan, This suggest that your chipset is not able to handle the full PCI-E speed on more than 3 ports. This usually depends on the way the PCI-E links are wired trough the ports and the capacity of the chipset itself. As an exemple we were never able to reach fullspeed performance with

Dr. Yu sent me a version of this intended for OpenMPI back in September. I was just today getting around to trying it, although I noticed that it doesn't work with R v2.6, so my plans just changed a little. If Dr. Yu gives permission, I'll send to you what he sent to me, or perhaps he'll post it

Hate to be a party-pooper, but the answer is "no" in OpenMPI 1.2. We don't allow the use of a hostfile in a Torque environment in that version. We have changed this for v1.3, but you'll have to wait for that release. Sorry Ralph On 12/18/07 11:12 AM, "pat.o'bry...@exxonmobil.com" wrote: > Ti

Open MPI v1.2 had some problems with the TM configuration code which was fixed in v1.2.1. So any version v1.2.1 or later should work fine (and, as you indicate, 1.2.4 works fine). Tim On Tuesday 18 December 2007 12:48:40 pm pat.o'bry...@exxonmobil.com wrote: > Jeff, > Here is the result of

Jeff, Here is the result of the "pbs-config". By the way, I have successfully built OpenMPI 1.2.4 on this same system. The "config.log" for OpenMPI 1.2.4 shows the correct Torque path. That is not surprising since the "configure" script for OpenMPI 1.2.4 uses "pbs-config" while the configure s

Well that's fun. Is this the library location where Torque put them by default? What does "pbs-config --libs" return? Also -- I second Reuti's question: what is the nature of your requirement such that you need to be able to run outside of the nodes that have been allocated to a job? Are
