Hi We've noticed that, since ticket #3260, the grpcomm hier has been deleted. Unfortunatly it is mandatory to use the ess slurmd. Actually we are using this ess to work with slurm when starting mpi jobs with srun (without mpirun). In this case the grpcomm hier works fine, even if it is reintroduced in a openmpi 1.6.2. Do you plan to reintroduce it in a future release ?
Thanks, Guillaume
