Michael,
are you talking about SGI MPT ? If yes, this is indeed disconnected. If
not, the commercial MPI need to be "integrated" with a new mpi plugin
and maybe more. We went thru that exercise for SGI MPT: launching,
proctrack, job accounting and cpuset. It wasn't trivial for MPT. FYI,
it's not pushed to SLURM community yet.
Thanks
