OpenMPI Support

Posted by chris Wed, 27 Sep 2006 02:30:04 GMT

Two interesting things reported by Olli-Pekka Leht in this interesting thread on OpenMPI support for grid engine:

  • A tight parallel environment integration module exists in the OpenMPI development tree and there is a chance it may be released at the November 11-17 SC06 meeting.
  • Not wanting to wait, Olli-Pekka took the module from a nightly snapshot and compiled it into an OpenMPI-1.1.1 installation

People interested in doing what Olli-Pekka has done can visit http://staff.csc.fi/~oplehto/openmpi-gridengine/. Basic implementation notes are offered in this mailing list post.

Sun and the OpenMPI project - good news for sge/mpi integration

Thanks to Ron for pointing these links out again.

Back in March, Sun announced its membership in the OpenMPI community. A side effect of this effort is that OpenMPI and Grid Engine interoperability will get serious high level attention. Ron also provides a link to a Sun HPC presentation PDF where there is explicit mention of creating an "SGE Plugin for ORTE" -- the Open Run Time Environment within the OpenMPI distribution.

If this makes rolling out a tightly integrated Grid Engine / MPI Parallel Environment (PE) a bit easier then everybody wins.
