[Darshan-users] Darshan I/O profiling of sequential code

Hi Wadud,

For most (but not all) MPI implementations you wouldn't even need to use 
mpirun.  You can just launch the program like you normally would with 
./app.exe and the MPI library will assume that it is operating in a 
single-process environment.
