[StarCluster] Error when running mpich2 plugin using Starcluster

[Rayson Ho]

There are many ways:

1) You can specify the "hostname" command instead of the benchmark executable when you run mpirun.

(Note that you can run non MPI programs with mpirun.)


2) Use MPI_Get_processor_name() to find the name of the host in your MPI benchmark.


3) You can even ssh into the nodes and see if they really are running on the nodes.

(This method may slow down your benchmark by a bit...)

Hi Justin, Thanks so much. 

I was able to use one of the 32-bit public AMIs. MPICH2 plugin appeared to have worked. And also the passwordless login into the nodes. I was also able to execute the benchmarks in the head node. But I couldn't confirm if the benchmark was executed in the cluster or just the head-node. Attached is an example of the log when attempted for STREAM benchmark. It was run as root from master node. I passed only master, node001 in the arguments for mpirun command but number of nodes (processes) -np as 4 just to check. 

The result indicates the benchmark ran on 4 nodes. But I only have master node and 1 worker node in the cluster. How can I confirm if the benchmark really ran on all the nodes?

Please advise,
Subbarao Kota.
