Hello everyone I am new to cluster programming in MPI. I have a master-slave program structure. Can anyone tell me, how to execute my MPI program on thi type of setup?

The answer depends on how you

The answer depends on how you have your program set up. If you are using a single program that recognizes based on rank number whether it is a master or slave, then you simply run as normal. For example, if you are running 64 total ranks, using the hostfile ./hosts, you would run:

[plain]mpirun -f ./hosts -n 64 ./a.out <args>[/plain]

If you have one binary for the master and a different binary for the slave, you can use an argument set to run. So if you have 1 master rank and 63 slave ranks, you'd use:

[plain]mpirun -f ./hosts -n 1 ./master <master args> : -n 63 ./slave <slave args>[/plain]
