3 – Using InfiniPath MPI InfiniPath MPI Details

Q

-nonmpi

Run a non-MPI program. Required if the node program makes no MPI calls. Default: Off

-quiescence-timeout, seconds

Wait time in seconds for quiescence (absence of MPI communication) on the nodes. Useful for detecting deadlocks. 0 disables quiescence detection.

Default: 900

-disable-mpi-progress-check

This option disables MPI communication progress check, without disabling the ping reply check. Default: Off.

-l

Label each line of output on stdout and stderrwith the rank of the MPI process which produces the output.

-labelstyle string

Specify the label that is prefixed to error messages and statistics. Process rank is the default prefix.

-stdinfilename

Filename that should be fed as stdin to the node program. Default: /dev/null

-stdin-target 0..np-1 -1

Process rank that should receive the file specified with the -stdinoption. -1 means all ranks. Default: -1

-wdirpath-to-working_dir

Sets the working directory for the node program.

Default: -wdircurrent-working-dir

-print-stats

Causes each node program to print various MPI statistics to stderr on job termination. Can be useful for troubleshooting. Default: off. For details, see appendix C.8.13.
