Hello,

I have been using OPEN-MPI for several years now on 8-16 CPU/Core machines. I 
want to extend the usage to graphic-card devices (NVIDIA-cards). Therefore,

I use open-mpi implementation on x number of CPU´s working well (linux/ubuntu):

The CPU installation:

1) makefile look like this:

****

CC       = mpic++

SDIR     = ./

IMPI     = /usr/lib/openmpi/include

LMPI     = /usr/lib/openmpi/lib

ISCL     = $(HOME)/applik-libscl/libscl/gpp

LSCL     = $(HOME)/applik-libscl/libscl/gpp

IDIRS    = -I. -I$(SDIR) -I$(IMPI) -I$(ISCL)

LDIRS    = -L$(LMPI) -L$(LSCL)

CFLAGS   = -O -Wall -c  $(IDIRS)

LFLAGS   = $(LDIRS)  -lscl -lm



hello : hello.o

      $(CC) -o hello hello.o $(LFLAGS)



hello.o : $(SDIR)/hello.cpp $(HEADERS)

      $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(SDIR)/hello.cpp



clean :

      rm -f *.o core core.*



veryclean   :

      rm -f *.o core core.*

      rm -f  hello

*****

2) and I  simultaneously compile and execute with the  sh-file:


*****

echo "localhost cpu=24" > OpenMPIhosts



test -f hello.err  && mv -f hello.err  hello.err.bak

test -f hello.out  && mv -f hello.out  hello.out.bak



make -f makefile.mpi.OpenMPI_1.4 >hello.out 2>&1 && \

  mpirun --hostfile OpenMPIhosts ${PWD}/hello >>hello.out 2>hello.err



RC=$?



case $RC in

  0) exit 0 ;;

  esac

exit 1;


I have now some questions:

Can this parallel program (hello) be extended by also using Graphic processors 
card (i.e. Nvidia-cards) using hwloc = internal in version  Open-mpi 1.7.1 
(installation).

If yes:

Any changes in makefiles? Execute-files? Program-files?

Suggestions for implementations are appreciated!
The graphic card devices should be the extensions of a machine's CPUs.
