[torquedev] Torque ncpus command

[Lenox, Billy AMRDEC/Sentient Corp.]

I have Tried This:

> If you want 28 processors anywhere you can get them try using -l procs=28.

It still only runs on ONE NODE (seed001)

I have also done this:

> mpirun -np 28 -machinefile ${PBS_NODEFILE} ./prog

It still only runs on ONE NODE (seed001)

This is what is in my nodes file

Here /var/spool/torque/server_priv/nodes

seed001 np=8 batch
seed002 np=8 batch
seed003 np=4 batch
seed004 np=4 batch
seed005 np=4 batch

PBS_MOM is running on all nodes
PBS_SERVER is on the SERVER

I do a PBSNODES -A

All are FREE and READY for use.

I know I cant specify NODES:PROCESSORS in the Script.

I know if I create a file called hosts

seed001
seed002
seed003
seed004
seed005

And run the command like this in my script:

> mpirun -np 28 -machinefile /Users/name/hosts ./prog

This Works and runs on all nodes ${PBS_NODEFILE}

Still it not the correct way for PBS to work if I keep adding more NODES
To the listing for more PROCS to use. I would like for this to work somehow
correctly to use.

Thanks

Billy
