HP-MPI Version 1.2 for Windows Release Note

-kill <pid>
Authenticates with remote service and terminates the remote process
indicated by the pid. The process is terminated as the authenticated
user. So, if the user does not have permission to terminate the
indicated process, the process will not be terminated.
mpidiag authentication options are the same as mpirun authentication options. These include:
-pass, -cache, -clearcache, -iscached, -token/-tg, -package/-pk. See “Support for
New mpirun Options” (page 9) for detailed descriptions of these options.
1.2.4.7 MPI Compiler Wrapper Script Options
• -mpicc <compiler> -mpicxx <compiler> -mpif90 <compiler>
These options serve the same purpose as the MPI_CC, MPI_CXX, and MPI_F90 variables
for telling the mpicc, mpicxx, and mpif90 wrapper scripts which compiler to use; but they
provide the ability to change the compiler from the command line.
• -mpisyntax <windows|unix>
This option serves the same purpose as the MPI_WRAPPER_SYNTAX variable for telling the
wrapper script which syntax the compiler uses; but provides the ability to change the compiler
from the command line.
1.3 Installation Instructions
HP-MPI must be installed on all nodes which are used to launch or run jobs. The installation
directory used must be the same on all nodes. HP strongly recommends that you uninstall any
previous versions of HP-MPI for Windows before installing V1.2.
To install HP-MPI, log in as Administrator, and follow the instructions for either an interactive
or command line installation described below.
1.3.1 Standard Interactive Installation
Double-click Setup HP-MPI-1.2-20081028.exe, and follow the onscreen prompts to install the
product.
1.3.2 Command-Line Installation for Windows HPCS
The HP-MPI installer can be invoked from the command line to enable unattended installation
from a command window. To install HP-MPI in this manner on a HPCS system, run the install
package on every node in the cluster, and include the /verysilent flag.
The installer assumes the default values for the installation directory and program group, unless
you override them by specifying additional command line parameters. To override the install
directory, specify the /DIR="x:\dirname" parameter. To override the program group, specify
the /GROUP="group name" parameter.
To easily install HP-MPI on all nodes in the cluster, log in as Administrator, and use the following
command to execute the install command:
headnode> clusrun /all "\\netshare\path\Setup HP-MPI-1.2-20081028.exe"
/verysilent /COMPONENTS=hpmpihpcs
Using the Compute Cluster Administrator Console GUI, you can select the compute nodes, then
select Action→Run Command. Run the HP-MPI install package with the /verysilent flag:
"\\netshare\path\Setup HP-MPI-1.2-20081028.exe" /verysilent
If you require a license file, you must copy one to every node after HP-MPI is installed. To do
this, create the licenses directory and copy the mpi.lic file to this directory. Using the
clusrun command from the head node is the easiest way to accomplish this.
To create the licenses directory, enter the following on one command line:
