[OMPI users] Dynamically throttle/scale processes

2016-03-17 Thread Andrus, Brian Contractor
All, I have an mpi-based program that has a master process that acts as a 'traffic cop' in that it hands out work to child processes. I want to be able to dynamically throttle how many child processes are in use at any given time. For instance, if I start it with "mpirun -n 512" I could send a

Abhisek, Generally, if you built openmpi with PBS support, it will automatically using the appropriate nodes with ‘mpirun ’ If not, you can use the environment variables provided to your session: mpirun --hostfile $PBS_NODEFILE -np $(cat $PBS_NODEFILE|wc -l) Brian Andrus ITACS/Research Comput

[OMPI users] proper use of MPI_Abort

2013-11-04 Thread Andrus, Brian Contractor
All, I have some sample code that has a syntax message and then an MPI_Abort call if the program is run without the required parameters. --snip--- if (!rank) { i = 1; while ((i < argc) && strcmp("-input", *argv)) { i++; argv++;
