In GridEngine you can specify whether the actual group id should be used for the job, or the default login id. Having a tight integration, also the slave processes will run with the same group id. -- Reuti > Ed > > From: Ralph Castain [mailto:r...@open-mpi.org] > Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2011 8:53 AM > To: Open MPI Users > Subject: Re: [OMPI users] Can you set the gid of the processes created by > mpirun? > > On Sep 7, 2011, at 7:38 AM, Blosch, Edwin L wrote: > > > The mpirun command is invoked when the user’s group is ‘set group’ to group > 650.
