The btl interface is used. The nodes in both subclusters have the same architecture so no need for two binaries. The MPI libraries for the interconnect can be selected at runtime, for example through the value of the OMPI_MCA_btl environment variable. However that variable should then somehow be set once SGE has decided on which subcluster to run the job, thus avoiding it to be set in advance when submitting. I tried a couple of things like different PEs but there does not seem to be an elegant solution; I mean something completely transparent to the user like mpirun -np $NSLOTS executable as I have seen in some of the OpenMPI FAQs. Thanks Henk

At least there would be the option to built two binaries and decide at runtime which to use in your jobscript - depending on the machine you landed on. -- Reuti _______________________________________________ users mailing list us...@open-mpi.org http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/users
