Hi, To build openmpi for a slurm cluster, it seems that building pmi support into OpenMPI is “preferred”. See http://slurm.schedmd.com/mpi_guide.html#open_mpi. When building openmpi 1.8.8 with easybuild, that seems not specified on the configure. Looking into the output from the build, it seems that pmi is also not used by the build.
I was looking into the docs to see the “preferred” way of massaging this, such that the openmpi could be used e.g. in a toolchain, but didn’t find a useful chapter so far. May I please get a pointer? Thanks Joachim
