[Swift-devel] [ZeptoOS] hostname returns none in Surveyor

Zhao, Thank you very much for the answers.

One more question: :)

Do you know how I can calculate this ? Does this method works regardless of the number of nodes allocated (even with any fraction of pset ) ?

Thank you
Emalayan

Yes, you could calculate the MAX_RANK from personality.sh.

To use the torus network, there are two ways. One is to use the 12.x.y.z+1 interface, which we have to configure ourselves.
The other way is to use the "ipfwd.sh", aka the 10.128 interface.
    The drawback of the second interface is it takes up one core
for polling, and there is some scalability issue beyond 2K compute
    nodes as far as I remember. Mosa could use either of them.

            will know that it can use 12.128.0.0 for example.  Then we
            dont need any manual intervention, nor complicated/brittle

            10.128.0.0. Can you help me understand what is going on
            here? Is the "IP Over Torus" info on the ZeptoOS wiki
            outdated? Or does it describe a different technique?
