Thanks for the quick reply.<br><br>According to the quickstart guide, it should be possible with mpd to launch a process using multiple processors (page 33 of <cite>www.fz-juelich.de/jsc/datapool/page/4224//install.pdf</cite><span class="gl">). Is this not correct then?<br><br>I'm not sure what version of mpich2 I'm using - how can I find out? "mpirun_rsh -v" doesn't work. It will be the version from around the end of last year though, since that's when I downloaded it. The nodes are connected by a simple standard ethernet connection.<br><br>I looked into mpirun_rsh as you kindly suggested, but when I run:<br>mpirun_rsh -hostfile ./machinefile -n 8 /home/me/test/software.ex > job.out 2> job.err<br><br>I get an error:<br>------<br>bash: line 0: cd: /home/me/test: No such file or directory<br>chdir: No such file or directory<br><br>Child exited abnormally!<br>Killing remote processes...DONE<br>------<br>where machinefile contains:<br>------<br>december<br>december<br>december<br>december<br>quad<br>quad<br>quad<br>quad<br>-------<br><br>I appreciate your help.<br></span> <br /><hr />Get a free e-mail account with Hotmail.
