The issue isn't with adding a string. The question is whether or not OMPI is to support one job running across multiple clusters. We made a conscious decision (after lengthy discussions on OMPI core and ORTE mailing lists, plus several telecons) to not do so - we require that the job execut

What Ken put in is what is needed for the limited multi-cluster capabilities we need, just one additional string. I don't think there is a need for any discussion of such a small change. Rich On 9/22/08 1:32 PM, "Ralph Castain" wrote: > We really should discuss that as a group first - there i

We really should discuss that as a group first - there is quite a bit of code required to actually support multi-clusters that has been removed. Our operational model that was agreed to quite a while ago is that mpirun can -only- extend over a single "cell". You can connect/accept multipl

This check in was in error - I had not realized that the checkout was from the 1.3 branch, so we will fix this, and put these into the trunk (1.4). We are going to bring in some limited multi-cluster support - limited is the operative word. Rich On 9/22/08 12:50 PM, "Jeff Squyres" wrote: > I
