You do not need CCM to use Open MPI on with Gemini and Aries. Open MPI has natively supported both networks since 1.7.0. Please take a look at the platform files in contrib/platform/lanl/cray_xe6 for CLE 4.1 support. You should be able to just build using:
configure --with-platform=contrib/platform/lanl/cray_xe6/optimized-lustre If you also enable the Java interfaces you should be up and running with Gemini. Keep in mind you can use either mpirun or aprun to launch. You will get a warning message from PMI (there is an open bug on this) when using mpirun but it is harmless. If you want more info on the XE, XK, and XC support feel free to ask on this list and I will try to get an answer back quickly. -Nathan Hjelm HPC-5, LANL On Wed, Apr 16, 2014 at 05:01:37PM -0400, Ray Sheppard wrote: > Hello, > Big Red 2 provides its own MPICH based MPI.
