command
[ args ]
mpirun-ipath-ps is a tool that enables programs linked with the InfiniPath MPI library to run on a ParaStation MPI cluster under control of the ParaStation MPI management facility. Within ParaStation MPI the startup of parallel jobs is handled as described within the process_placement(7) manual page. The spawning mechanism is steered by environment variables, which are described in detail within ps_environment(7).
The command mpirun-ipath-ps is part of the
psipath.rpm package. Please contact
<support@par-tec.com> for details how to obtain
this package.
mpirun-ipath-ps typically works like this:
mpirun-ipath-ps -npnumprog[args]
This will startup the program prog
num times in parallel forming a
parallel job.
Args are optional argument which will be
passed to each instance of prog.
-np nodes
Number of processes to create.
-nodes=nodeslist
list of nodes to use.
-hosts=hosts
list of hosts to use.
-hostfile=hostfile
hostfile to use.
-sort=criteria
Sorting criteria to use: proc,
load,
proc+load or
none.
-exports=envlist
Environment to export to foreign nodes.
-keep-mpihosts
don't remove mpihosts file upon exit.
-v, --verbose
Print diagnostic messages.
-V, --version
Output version information and exit.
-n, -num-recv-bufs=num
Number of receive buffers in runtime (deprecated and ignored).
-N, -num-send-bufs=num
Number of send buffers in runtime.
-q, -quiescence-timeout=secs
Wait time in seconds for quiescence on the nodes. Useful for detecting deadlocks. Value of 0 disables quiescence detection.
-S, -short-len=len
Message length in bytes below which short message protocol is to be used (deprecated and ignored).
-L, -long-len=len
Message length in bytes above which rendezvous protocol is to be used.
-W, -rndv-window-size=size
Window size in bytes to use for native rendezvous.
-c, -psc-spin-count=count
Number of times to loop for packets before yielding.
-stdin=filename
Filename that should be fed as stdin to the node program.
-wdir=path
Sets the working directory for the node program.
-stdin-target=rank
Process rank that should receive the stdin file specified via -stdin option. Specify -1 if every process needs stdin.
-?, --help
Show this help messages.
--usage
Display brief usage message.
