Hi Ivan,<br><br>We did a similar setup not that long ago. We couldn't find an easy way to start MPD with the nodes allocated by PBS/Torque, so we had to manually parse the PBS_NODEFILE <br><br>The following is the command we used in our shell script to convert the PBS_NODEFILE into the MPICH machinefile format.<br>
<br>sort $PBS_NODEFILE | uniq -c | awk '{print $2,$1}' | tr ' ' ':' > mpd.hosts<br><br>So assuming you get 5 nodes allocated in the PBS_NODEFILE:<br>node1<br>node1<br>node2<br>node2<br>node3<br>
<br><br>The command above will create mpd.hosts with the following:<br>node1:2<br>node2:2<br>node3:1<br><br><br><br>Hope that helps,<br><br>Camilo<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 4:15 PM, Ivan Pulido <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mefistofeles87@gmail.com">mefistofeles87@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>The MPICH2 user's guide says there's a way to convert the Torque node file to one MPD can read, but this is outdated since the syntax used by torque nowadays is not the one mentioned on MPICH2 user's guide, so I can't use what's there to use Torque with MPICH2. On the other hand, I tried using OSC mpiexec <a href="http://www.osc.edu/%7Edjohnson/mpiexec/" target="_blank">http://www.osc.edu/~djohnson/mpiexec/</a> with no good results since it's looking for a libpbs.a that's not part of Torque default install (this is for torque's mailling list).<br>
<br>So, what I'm trying to tell is that the ways the user's guide advice to use MPICH2 with torque functionality are not correct with newest versions of the software involved. So I'd like to know if there's a way to use MPICH2 with torque functionality that really works with newest versions, I'd really like a help with this since we need using MPI in our cluster urgently.<br>
<br>Thanks.<br clear="all"><font color="#888888"><br>-- <br>Ivan Pulido<br>Estudiante de Física<br>Universidad Nacional de Colombia<br>
