Think of LAM/MPI as one of the predecessors to Open MPI (several MPI
projects, including LAM/MPI, merged to create the new Open MPI). So
some of the ideas and code were taken from LAM, but not everything.
I think lam is just a runtime for which now openmpi delivers some
support.
Not really. We originally created a new run-time (ORTE) for Open MPI
that uses some of the ideas from LAM (and others), and a bunch of new/
original work. These days, I would only consider ORTE to be distantly
related to LAM.
If not so, I dont understand. However orte is another runtime right?
I thought I can switch between those using something like mpi-
selector-menu.
mpi-selector-menu is a utility that I wrote for the OFED (OpenFabrics
Enterprise Distribution) distribution. It allows you to switch
between the different MPI implementations installed by OFED without
requiring the user to edit their shell startup files (e.g., .bashrc).
I know that the Cisco OFED distribution includes documentation on mpi-
selector-menu (available from cisco.com), and there's a man page
installed on mpi-selector-menu as well (and mpi-selector, the script
that does the work behind mpi-selector-menu).
Cisco's OFED ships with 9 different MPI implementation: Open MPI,
MVAPICH, MVAPICH2. Each of those are compiled against the GNU
compilers, intel compilers, and PGI compilers. mpi-selector-menu
allows you to switch between these 9.
I think Im lost. How can I use openmpi to run a distributed system
efficiently? I dont want to fall back on old LAM/MPI since I want to
be modern :o)
Yours, J

I need advise to get openmpi to work using lam.
I think you're slightly confused -- LAM/MPI and Open MPI are two
different software projects that implement the same standard (MPI).
This list is for supporting Open MPI. Another list
(http://www.lam-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/lam
) is available for supporting LAM/MPI. You might want to refer to
the
"Getting Help" page on the LAM/MPI site
(http://www.lam-mpi.org/using/support/
). I suspect that your problem has to do with your hostfile, and you
should check the LAM/MPI user's guide for the answer.
But be aware that LAM/MPI is in maintenance mode -- it is being
deprecated in favor of Open MPI. See the announcement at the top of
LAM/MPI's home page.
Good luck.
For testing I installed it on two machines running opensuse10.3
(both atholon 64) connected via ethernet. I then try to run a test
script "hello.x" with the following commands:
jus@cusp:~/Code/Spielwiese/Mpi> make hello
mpicc hello.c -o hello.x
jus@cusp:~/Code/Spielwiese/Mpi> lamboot mfile
LAM 7.1.4/MPI 2 C++/ROMIO - Indiana University
Enter passphrase for key '/cusp/jus/.ssh/id_rsa':
Enter passphrase for key '/cusp/jus/.ssh/id_rsa':
jus@cusp:~/Code/Spielwiese/Mpi> lamnodes
n0 cusp:1:origin,this_node
n1 neutrino.stat.physik.uni-potsdam.de:1:
jus@cusp:~/Code/Spielwiese/Mpi> mpirun -np 2 hello.x
Process 0 on cusp out of 2
Process 1 on cusp out of 2
The jobs are thus wrapped only on the node "cusp", not on both. I
have no clue why this is.
Thanks, Justus
