A little bit more background information, we were trying to run it on Wai 
(large SMP machine) and we ran into issue getting more than 64 core for our 
setup. Let’s see if a simple MPI hello world will show where the limit is 
coming from. 

thanks

If you're running on the DSRCs I'm guessing that the limit is coming from the 
node selection option (i.e. "#PBS -l select=8:ncpus=36:mpiprocs=8"). mpiprocs 
here is the number of MPI processes per node while ncpus is the number of cores 
per node (in this case only nodes that have 36 cores per node will be used. 
I've never tried having mpiprocs higher than ncpus. I would guess that a simple 
MPI helloworld would really show whether or not this is where the limit is 
coming from.


Best,
Andy

        I am tempted to second that. There's nothing in ParaView that checks
        how many cores your node has, as a result if there's a cap, it's
        coming from the MPI implementation itself.
