HP-MPI Version 1.1 for Windows Release Note

HP-MPI V1.1 for Windows Release Note
What’s in This Version
10
-ccpblock Uses block scheduling to place ranks on allocated nodes. Nodes will be
processed in the order they were allocated by the scheduler, with each node
being fully populated up to the total number of CPUs before moving on to
the next node. Only valid when the -ccp option is used. May not be used
with the -f, -hostfile, or -hostlist options.
-ccpcluster <headnode>
Specifies the headnode of the CCP cluster that should be used to run the job.
Assumed to be the local host if omitted.
-ccpcyclic Uses cyclic scheduling to place ranks on allocated nodes. Nodes will be
processed in the order they were allocated by the scheduler, with one rank
allocated per node on each cycle through the node list. The node list will be
traversed as many times as is necessary to reach the total rank count
requested. Only valid when the -ccp option is used. May not be used with
the -f, -hostfile, or -hostlist options.
-f <appfile> Specifies the appfile that mpirun parses to get program and process count
information for the run.
-hostfile <filename>
Launches the same executable across multiple hosts. Filename is a text file
with hostnames separated by spaces or new lines.
-hostlist <quoted-host-list>
Indicates what nodes to use for the job. This hostlist may be delimited with
spaces or commas. If spaces are used as delimiters anywhere in the hostlist,
it may be necessary to place the entire hostlist inside quotes to prevent the
command shell from interpreting it as multiple options.
-jobid <job-id>
Schedules an HP-MPI job as a task to an existing job. It will submit the
command as a single CPU mpirun task to the existing job indicated by the
parameter job-id. This option is only valid when using the mpirun automatic
submittal functionality.
-package <package-name>
-pk <package-name>
When HP-MPI authenticates with the HP-MPI Remote Launch service, it
will authenticate using an installed Windows security package (e.g.
Kerberos, NTLM, Negotiate, etc.). By default, HP-MPI will negotiate the
package to use with the service, and no interaction or package specification
is required by the user. If a specific installed Windows security package is
preferred, use this flag to indicate that security package on the client. This
