• A new error checking flag (-ck) in the mpirun utility. The new error checking flag
(-ck) allows you to check appfile set-up, host machine and program availability,
and file permissions without creating MPI processes.
• The mpirun utility no longer makes assumptions about how long it will take before a
process calls MPI_Init. Timeout errors before MPI_Init that may have been seen in
older versions of the product do not occur in this version because mpirun no longer
makes assumptions about time to MPI_Init.
