Dear MPICH discussion group:<br><br>I am running a parallel code with mpich2-1.4.1p1 that uses Master/Slave MPI implementation and was originally set up
for a cluster of single core nodes controlled by a head node. <br><br>The code also works well with a single node multiple cores set up. <br><br>
Now I am testing this code on multiple nodes each with multiple cores.
The nodes are set up for password less login via ssh. The run hangs
sometimes and takes longer to complete. (The run with single node 12
cores is faster than the corresponding run using 2 nodes each with 12
cores (total 24)).<br>
<br>I am trying to resolve this issue and wondering if you have any feedback on:<br>1. Does Master/Slave MPI implementation need any specific settings to work across multiple node/multiple core machine set up?<br>2. Is there any way to explicitly specify a core as a master with mpich2 and exclude it from computations?<br>
<br>I would greatly appreciate any other pointers/suggestions to fix this issue.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Sarika<br><br><br>
