open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hi Costas,

I try to do what you've done 7 years ago.
Did you manage to get MPIEXEC running on two workstations connected via Ethernet ?

I see on other posts that you change your plan to use a job schedulder but I would like to know if you succeeded in with MPICH2.

I would like to try Telemac on a cluster made of two workstations.

Hello Alexis,

I managed setup the environment that enables running a computation between two nodes but the results were disappointing with Ethernet, so I wouldn't recommend it. As the core count per node increases, it is getting pointless to spread computations across multiple nodes, unless the domain is really large.
For the record, I am using MS-MPI and HPC Pack as a job scheduler, but it is not necessary to have one. MS-MPI is the successor to MPICH2 for Windows and pretty mature by now, so I don't know why anyone would still use it.
If you really need MPICH2, there is little I can do.
Best Regards,
Costas
