The lamnodes command is used to resolve LAM node/CPU nomenclature to Unix hostnames. It can be used to
determine the current running configuration of the LAM/MPI run-time environment, and generate a boot
schema that can be used to launch LAM in the future.
By default, lamnodes will print out the node number, default IP name, CPU count, and per-node flags for
each node in the running LAM. gethostbyaddr(3) is used to obtain default hostnames. If gethostbyaddr(3)
fails, the IP number is displayed instead.
This command can be used by setup shell scripts (and the like) to determine information from a currently-
running LAM universe. For example, use lamnodes to resolve particular CPUs and/or nodes to specific unix
hostnames. In a batch environment, lamnodes can be used to determine which CPUs share a common node
(note that MPI_GET_PROCESSOR_NAME can be used for a similar effect in an MPI program).
lamnodes also shows per-node flags. Currently defined flags are:
origin The node where lamboot was executed.
this_node The node where lamnodes is running.
no_schedule The node will not be used to run MPI and serial processes when N and C are used to mpirun and
lamexec.
