[mvapich-discuss] MVAPICH2 2.1a, PMI2 interface, SLURM srun parallel luncher

[Filippo Spiga]

A side question...

I tried "--with-pm=hydra:slurm" but I got from the configure "slurm is not compatible with other process managers". If I enable SLURm support, mpiexec/mpirun are not generated. But I would love to have them as well. Is there any change to do so or I need to have two different MVAPICH2 installations?

Cheers,
F

But when srun is used, I can manipulate it with --cpu_bind correctly. So I assume that Open MPI default is disabled when srun is used. It will be nice if MVAPICH2 adops the same strategy.
