[mpich-discuss] How to use ppr with mpiexec?

[Zhou, Hui]

If you are using hydra – the default launcher installed with MPICH, the “-hosts” option accepts a comma separated list, so something like “-hosts node1:4,node2:4,node3:4”. The “:4” tells the launcher to assign 4 processes per host, so you don’t need another “-map-by” option. Alternatively, you could use “-hosts node1,node2,node3 -ppn 4” for the same effect.

Good morning,

I'm trying to "port" an Open MPI script with MPICH and I'm having some trouble. I've got a few questions.
1.  What is the form of the "-hosts" option? Is it something like '-hosts node1:4 node2:4 node3:4 ...'?
2.  The Open MPI script has an option "-map-by ppr:4:node" that tells it to run 4 processes per node and then it runs as many nodes as needed to meet the number of processes. How can I do this in MPICH?
Thanks for the help!

Jeff
