Description
makeflow_mpi_starter is an MPI wrapper program that will start Makeflow and WorkQueue on the nodes
allocated to it. It is intended as a simple, easy way for users to take advantage of MPI-based system
while using Makeflow and WorkQueue. To use it, the user simply needs to call it as one would a regular
MPI program. For the program to work, cctools needs to be configured with --with-mpi-path.
Examples
Run with debugging:
mpirun -np $NUM_PROC makeflow_mpi_starter -m "Makeflow.mf" -d mydebug
Run makeflow with custom port:
mpirun -np $NUM_PROC makeflow_mpi_starter -m "Makeflow.mf" -d mydebug -p 9001
Run makeflow with garbage collection
mpirun -np $NUM_PROC makeflow_mpi_starter -m "-gall Makeflow.mf" -d mydebug
Example SGE submission script
#!/bin/csh
#$ -pe mpi-* 120
#$ -q debug
#$ -N mpi_starter_example
module load ompi
mpirun -np $NSLOTS makeflow_mpi_starter -m "Makeflow.mf" -d mydebug
Exit Status
On success, returns zero. On failure, returns non-zero.
