How to run an MPI program on multiple nodes stored on a network drive ?

[ArthurRatz]

Dear Collegues, I've got question is it possible to store an MPI program on a network drive and run it on each cluster node ?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Arthur.

Hi Arthur,

Yes, mainly it's possible.

[ArthurRatz]

And could you give an example of how to do it ?

Hi Arthur,

You should just specify the appropriate network path to the MPI application in the command line (the path should be reachable from the all cluster nodes involved into the MPI run), for example (Linux* OS):

mpirun ... /nfs/.../test.exe

or (Windows* OS):

mpiexec ... \\hostname\...\test.exe

Thanks a lot.
