Re: [Condor-users] New to Condor, Need to RUN MPI

[Samir Khanal <skhanal@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mr Jakob
I was able to run MPI jobs on Condor with the parallel environment.
Condor provides a way to queue the jobs so that resources are appropriately assigned to jobs.
If you would need some tip-offs, i can help out.
Thanks for the response

Dear mr Kanal,

I've been following your struggles with some interest, as I'm trying to
run MPI-jobs on Condor as well, except that I'm using openMPI.
Fortunately (for me) all the configuration stuff is done by a
systemadministrator at our institute, so I couldn't help you out. But as
I'm reading your problems, I'm wondering about the following:
It seems that you have a machinepool that is dedicated to run MPI-jobs.
If that is really the case, Condor is completely useless for you. In the
parallel Universe, _all_ that Condor does, is create a machinefile and
then call the mpirun-command with that (temporary) machinefile. If you
have a cluster dedicated to do MPI-computations, you can just as well
just run mpirun and the result will be exactly the same! (without all
the Condor-headaches)

Greetings, Jakob
