I am not sure what tree mode is and why you need to disable it. In general users does not need to specify which mode hydra should use to run MPI. You can simply run it using: mpiexec -f hosts -n 4 ./app, as explained in http://wiki.mpich.org/mpich/index.php/Using_the_Hydra_Process_Manager#Quick_... In order to understand you failed run, can you give us your host file and the command line you launch you application? — Huiwei On May 29, 2014, at 9:16 AM, Scott O'Malley <[email protected]> wrote:

I've looked through the hydra docs but I haven't found a flag or anything else that would let me disable it spawning in tree mode, if MPICH even does that.

I was able to kind of rectify the error using OpenMPI and specifying the "-mca plm_rsh_no_tree_spawn" flag

Check https://wiki.mpich.org/mpich/index.php/Using_the_Hydra_Process_Manager to see if it is what you want.

I have recently built a cluster of Raspberry Pi computers. When this was made up of a master node and 2 slave nodes there was no issue calling mpiexec across the cluster. When I add an additional node to the cluster bringing the size to 1 master and 3 slave nodes I get an error of "Host File Verification Failed". I've tested password-less SSH on all nodes and it's working correctly.

I've done some googling of the error and set up and the only mention I've gotten to it was on this link here relating to OpenMPI - http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2013/11/22940.php

Is there a similar setup for MPICH and if so can someone link me to the correct documentation page?

Cheers
