[mpich-discuss] multiple mpich2 jobs on a single node

[Bryan Putnam]

Hi, perhaps this is an FAQ, but I can't seem to find it.

I've noticed that if I have two mpich2 jobs running on for example, the 
same 8-processor node, submitted as

mpdboot 
mpirun -np 4 ./a.out


mpdboot
mpirun -np 4 ./a.out2


then when one of the jobs completes, it kills all the mpd processes along 
with it, and the remaining job dies with message

job aborted; reason = mpd disappeared


Is there an easy fix for this?

Thanks,
Bryan
