Dear all,
I have a cluster with two kinds of nodes joined into parallel calculation: the first kind is the nodes with 2 CPUs and 4 cores in every CPU, the memory in every node is 32 GB, the second kind is the nodes with 4 CPUs and 8 cores in every CPU, the memory in every node is 256 GB. All nodes have Windows Server 2008 HPC in stalled and they are all joined into one domain controlled by another node (which is not joined into the calculation). I launched the job by the following command:
mpiexec -wdir D:\Users\tang\Debug -mapall -hosts 18 n01 2 n02 2 n03 2 n04 2 n05 2 n06 2 n07 2 n08 2 n09 2 n10 2 n11 2 n12 2 n13 2 n14 2 n15 2 n16 2 m01 16 m02 16 D:\Users\tang\Debug\fem
The job failed by the error that MPI_Init failed. However, if I use any of the following commands (n01 etc are first kind of nodes and m01 etc are second kind of nodes):
mpiexec -wdir D:\Users\tang\Debug -mapall -hosts 16 n01 2 n02 2 n03 2 n04 2 n05 2 n06 2 n07 2 n08 2 n09 2 n10 2 n11 2 n12 2 n13 2 n14 2 n15 2 n16 2 D:\Users\tang\Debug\fem
mpiexec -wdir D:\Users\tang\Debug -mapall -hosts 2 m01 16 m02 16 D:\Users\tang\Debug\fem
The job is successfully launched.
Is there anything I missed in using mpiexec to launch this kind of job?
Thanks,
Zhanghong Tang
