Does your remote invocation method setup environment variables on for
slave tasks correctly??
I remember MPICH relies on env variables to pass rank and other
information from the rank 0 process to processes with non-zero ranks.
(I have not looked at how things are handled in Open MPI in detail...)
If you loop through all the environment variables using a " while
(*environ != NULL) printf("%s\n", *environ++); " loop, and compare an
MPI job started using your remote invocation method vs. the standard
one, then you can find out the answer easily.
And if you are using Grid Engine or Torque, then the integration with
Open MPI is already implemented. May be you are using Hadoop+something
else?? :D
