Having a manual mode of launching proxies sounds very interesting. I don’t think currently hydra supports it though. The manually launched proxies need establish communication back to mpiexec.hydra — I suspect the mechanism already exist. I guess the next question is how to reliably detect launch failures other than having mpiexec.hydra hanging forever — maybe that is a valid option.

Does mpich support interact with RTDA resource manager and launcher? Since the hydra process manager did tight integration with SGE, LSF, SLURM, PBS, etc. I was thinking for platform it doesn't support - if there is way to submit jobs with loose integration? ( loose integration means that we do the job submission self and run hydra_pmi_proxy on each allocated node manually, instead of mpich finished everything under the hood. ) Thank you very much, Shuwei _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To manage subscription options or unsubscribe: https://lists.mpich.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
