HP-MPI Version 1.2 for Windows Release Note

Below are some useful Windows 2008 environment variables for naming the job name or stdout/err
fileshare:
• CCP_CLUSTER_NAME - Cluster name
• CCP_JOBID - Job ID
• CCP_JOBNAME - Job name
• CCP_TASKCONTEXT - Task ‘content’ (jobid.taskid)
• CCP_TASKID - Task ID
An example job description file for a saved job, XMLDescriptionFile.xml, is included in the
help directory. This contains a template for a single saved HP-MPI job. To use this description
file, submit a job by selecting the HPC Job Manager. In the Job Manager, select Action→Job
Submission→Create New Job from Description File and select XML DescriptionFile.xml
located in the HP-MPI help directory. Edit the Tasks command to include flags and the rank to
execute. The job runs with ranks being equal to the number of processor, or the number of nodes
if the -nodex flag is used.
