Dear all, thanks a lot. So basically the idea is that MPI is more useful when a lot of communication occurs in the calibrator. On the other hand, the jobs scheduler is more appropriate when there are no or few communications. Is my final statement correct? Thanks a lot Diego On Thu, 30 Aug

Diego, what you wont to do is parametric studies. There are specific software available to do this efficiently (ie reducing the number of runs). Software can then rely in a job scheduler (PBS, SLURM...) which can launch many parallel mpi applications at the same time depending on the results

Hi Diego I (still) have Torque/PBS version 4.something in old clusters. [Most people at this point already switched to Slurm.] Torque/PBS comes with a tool named "pbsdsh" (for PBS distributed shell): http://docs.adaptivecomputing.com/torque/4-1-3/Content/topics/commands/pbsdsh.htm

Dear all, thank you for your answers. I will try to explain better my situation. I have written a code and I have parallelized it with openMPI. In particular I have a two level palatalization. The first takes care of a parallel code program and the second run the parallel code with different

Diego, I am sorry but you have different things here. PBS is a resource allocation system. It will reserve the use of a compute server, or several compute servers, for you to run your parallel job on. PBS can launch the MPI job - there are several mechanisms for launching parallel jobs. MPI is an

Dear all, I have a philosophical question. I am reading a lot of papers where people use Portable Batch System or job scheduler in order to parallelize their code. What are the advantages in using MPI instead? I am writing a report on my code, where of course I use openMPI. So tell me please
