Hello I'm testing HPC cluster options using VCL's image/subimage. The Linux HPC image that I've created for tests has OpenMPI and OpenBLAS libraries installed, it also has HPL benchmark to measure cluster performance in GFlops. Use of OpenMPI/HPL requires a list of cluster nodes. At this point I need to manually generate the list - list of all computers which are part of current cluster reservation.
Is there a way VCL could create a list of nodes during reservation in /root dir? May be it already creates such list in a different location? Thanks.
