class=764565821-07022008> First I would like to point that you are using an
old version of MPICH on windows. We recommend all users to use the latest
version of MPICH2(1.0.6p2 - available at <A

unix/linux in the MPICH2 user's guide (available at <A

You must be able to achieve the functionality that you mentioned using the
"-machinefile" option of mpiexec and separating the various executables/num of
procs using a ":"</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

MPICH Discuss<BR><B>Subject:</B> [MPICH] Running different program names with
mpirun<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hi,<BR><BR>I have a MPI program that works well under Windows and
right now I am extending this application to run under Linux.<BR>But I faced one
little problem using mpirun.<BR><BR>Under Windows, I use to start my application
from command line using mpirun for mpd, like this:<BR><B
style="FONT-FAMILY: courier new,monospace">>> mpirun
cluster.dat</B><BR><BR>And cluster.dat file has the list of machines, number of
process in each machine and applications that should run.<BR>The content o
cluster.dat file looks like this:<BR><I
style="FONT-FAMILY: courier new,monospace"><B>args par<BR>hosts<BR>machine1 1
//machine1/app/master.exe<BR></B></I><I
style="FONT-FAMILY: courier new,monospace"><B>machine1</B></I><I
style="FONT-FAMILY: courier new,monospace"><B> 4 </B></I><I
style="FONT-FAMILY: courier new,monospace"><B>//machine1/app/slave.exe</B></I><BR><I
style="FONT-FAMILY: courier new,monospace"><B>machine2</B></I><I
style="FONT-FAMILY: courier new,monospace"><B> 4 </B></I><I
style="FONT-FAMILY: courier new,monospace"><B>//machine1/app/slave.exe</B></I><BR><BR>As
you can see, I have 1 master process and n slaves, but in different
executables.<BR>I would like use mpirun in the same way, but I didn't find how
to do it.<BR><BR>Is there something similar to MPD for Linux ou another way to
do it?<BR>What should I do?<BR><BR>Thanks in advance,<BR>LC<BR></BODY></HTML>
