LSF Version 7.3 - Using Platform LSF HPC

Working with the Multi-purpose Daemon (MPD)
The Intel® MPI Library (“Intel MPI”) uses a Multi-Purpose Daemon (MPD) job
startup mechanism. MPD daemons must be up and running on the hosts where an MPI
job is supposed to start before
mpiexec is started.
How Platform LSF manges MPD rings
LSF manages MPD rings for users automatically using mpdboot and mpdtrace
commands.
Each MPI job running under LSF uses a uniquely labeled MPD ring. The ring is started
by the
intelmpi_wrapper during job launch and terminated by the
intelmpi_wrapper after MPI application exits, either normally or abnormally. This
allows coexistence of multiple MPI jobs belonging to different users as well as multiple
jobs from the same user on the same set of hosts.
