[Wrf-users] WRF running parallel in cluster

[Bart Brashers]

Are you using any queuing system like SGE, Torque, PBS, etc.?  In
OpenMPI, the mpirun (and mpiexec) are really just links to orterun.
Orterun is smart enough to get the list of hostnames to use from the
queuing system.

 

If you're not using a queuing system, then you need to tell orterun
which machines to use.  There's several ways, see `man orterun`.  You
could do any of these:

 

# cat hosts.txt

machine1

machine1

machine2

machine2

# orterun -np 4 -hostfile hosts.txt wrf.exe

# mpirun -np 4 -machinefile hosts.txt wrf.exe

# orterun -np 4 -host machine1,machine1,machine2,machine2 wrf.exe

Hello,

 

 I want to run WRF on multiple nodes in a linux cluster using openmpi,
giving the command mpirun -np 4 ./wrf.exe just submit it to the single
node . I don't know how to run it on other nodes as well. Help needed.

 

Regards,
