The first element in the array is for the daemon job.

Is this expected? Yes, that is expected - we don't bother to update that field in the job map when we launch the daemons for an application. However, the next time the job map is retrieved - say to map a comm_spawn'd application - then we do fill it in. The get_job_map function will check the daemon's job data object to see if a daemon has been launched on each node and fill-in the field. Reason we don't automatically update that field as the daemons launch is that we are looking ahead to when we minimize memory usage. When that happens, we probably won't retain the map at all - we'll reconstruct whatever is needed from the minimal stored set of data when it is needed, and then dump it when done. So, since we'll probably have to regenerate the map anyway, we don't bother to maintain the daemon spawned field. We just fill it in when we retrieve a map. If you want to see the filled-in values, call orte_rmaps.get_job_map and then dump the returned map object. > > Thanks, > Camille > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list > de...@open-mpi.org > http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/devel
