Jayesh,

Thanks very much. That indeed was the issue.

Appreciate it!

HI,
 This usually happens when you have a 64-bit version of MPICH2 installed and the application was compiled with a 32-bit version of MPICH2 (The dlls installed should be 64-bit for 64-bit apps and 32-bit for 32-bit apps). Let me know if it sounds familiar.

When I run the same thing with -localonly I get the error: mpich2mpi.dll not found ... the files are installed, so not sure what that means.

Forgot to add ... at the point that the out file ends, the program is just sitting there. Have to click break.

I ran this with the WMPIEXEC program and the -verbose option. The lammps program never executes. Is the output file in anyway meaningful as to why?

Fred,

I use a program that takes command line arguments. For example a typical call would be: 

mpiexec -n 12 -f nodefile mcnp5.mpi -i input -o output wwinp=wwfile 

I have never run into the problems you have describe.

There is now question that what is happening here is related the seeming inability of the mpiexec to run a program that requires command line arguments, which in some cases involves use of the < symbol. However, -i can also be used in place of < ... the results is the same.

At this point I have tried every conceivable variation:

a) C:\LAMMPS\example\micelle>"C:\Program Files\MPICH2\bin\mpiexec" -n 2 -dir c:\lammps\example\micelle\ c:\bin\lmp_win_mpi.exe < c:\lammps\example\micelle\in.micelle
Result: Does not recognize data redirection and lammps exits

b) C:\LAMMPS\example\micelle>"C:\Program Files\MPICH2\bin\mpiexec" -n 2 -dir c:\lammps\example\micelle\ "c:\bin\lmp_win_mpi.exe < c:\lammps\example\micelle\in.micelle"
Result: Error 123

c) C:\LAMMPS\example\micelle>"C:\Program Files\MPICH2\bin\mpiexec" -n 2 -dir c:\lammps\example\micelle\ c:\bin\lmp_win_mpi.exe -i c:\lammps\example\micelle\in.micelle
Result: Does not recognize command line arguments and lammps exits

d) C:\LAMMPS\example\micelle>"C:\Program Files\MPICH2\bin\mpiexec" -n 2 -dir c:\lammps\example\micelle\ "c:\bin\lmp_win_mpi.exe -i c:\lammps\example\micelle\in.micelle"
Result: Error 123

Does anyone have a working example of running using mpich that runs a program that makes use of command line arguments?

Thanks,
Fred

This part of your command line looks problematic:

> ... "c:\bin\lmp_win_mpi.exe < c:\lammps\example\micelle\in.micelle"

I'm neither a Windows nor a LAMMPS user, but at least on most Linux/Unix shells, quoting a redirection symbol prevents the shell from interpreting it as such, e.g.

  "program name" "foo bar" < "input file"

looks quite reasonable, while

  "program name" "foo bar < input file"

seems odd, since that would pass the whole 2nd string (incl. `<') as an argument to the program.

Hope this helps,
Nicolás
