Hi Zhifeng,<br class="">
<br class="">
You have to always execute the MPI program by using mpirun or mpiexec with -np <number of processes>.<br class="">
<br class="">
At MPI_Init, the process tries to read information (e.g., MPI rank, number of processes) from the PMI server which is another process launched by the mpiexec command. This information is necessary for MPI library to initialize communication (e.g., connecting
two processes).<br class="">
<br class="">
Best regards,<br class="">
