[mpich-discuss] MPICH2 on HPC Server 2008 wdir problem

[Jayesh Krishna]

 Hi,
  If you want to use a network drive in your job you will have to map it
explicity using the "-map" option of mpiexec (mpiexec -n 2 -map
k:\\host\share cpi.exe).

Regards,
Jayesh

Thank you all. I tried with the -wdir option compute node crashed with
blue screen but only after the job started to read/write to network drive.
I am assuming it is something to do with MS HPC job scheduler now.

 You will also need to set the working directory (-wdir) for your job.

> I am trying to used MPICH2 on windows HPC Cluster.  Using HPC job
scheduler i am not able to specify the work directory when i try to submit
a job. mpiexec will look at the input files only if preset in  MPICH2/BIN
directory. I have tried using the -wdir setting but not able to get
mpiexec to work.
