I think that as long as there is a single home area per cluster the difference
between the different approaches might seem irrelevant to most of the people.
My problem is twofold. First, I have a common home area across several
different development clusters. Thus I have direct access through ss
It's been awhile, but I vaguely remember the discussion. IIRC, the rationale
was that the default hostfile was equivalent to an RM allocation and should be
treated the same. So hostfile and -host become filters in that case.
FWIW, I believe the discussion was split on that question. I added a "n
I'm somewhat puzzled by the behavior of the -hostfile in Open MPI. Based on the
