[Swift-user] Swift/MPI & OpenFoam

[Matthew Shaxted]

Hi all,

A few questions about Swift's interaction with MPI - specifically related to OpenFoam CFD:

To date, we are running OpenFoam CFD jobs on a single machine at the moment, but are looking to scale up computation by way of OpenFoam's MPI support.

We discussed a strategy of enabling Lustre or a similar file system across our internal resources, connecting our worker nodes to the head node via an MPI listener, and submitting/running the jobs via OpenFoam's MPI run command.

Does Swift support a connection via MPI?

Perhaps Swift can help manage setting up the in the same way a worker.pl is setup for coaster-service?

Thanks for any insights.

Matthew
