For more information on HP-MPI, refer to the HP-MPI User’s Guide available at http://docs.hp.com
or the manpages in C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\HP-MPI\man.
1.2.4.1 Appfile, Hostlist, and Hostfile Support for Windows 2008
HP-MPI V1.2 contains a variety of new launch options for the mpirun.exe command. The
-hostfile and -hostlist options enable the user to launch the same executable across a
collection of hosts. The -f option and an appfile enable applications to launch that consist of
multiple programs or that run on multiple hosts. Detailed examples of these options are given
in the “Building and Running Applications” (page 25) of this release note.
1.2.4.2 Support for DDR/ConnectX IBAL Drivers for Windows 2008
At the time of this release, the Windows 2008 drivers for InfiniBand™ are WinOF 2.0. These
drivers are currently beta drivers. HP-MPI tested with the Mellanox WinOF 2.0-RC3/WinIB 1.4.1
drivers. These drivers support 64-bit InfiniBand DDR and ConnectX cards on Windows 2008.
HP-MPI supports InfiniBand IBAL protocol with these drivers and HP anticipates support for
the final release version of these drivers. However, because the final release drivers were
unavailable at the time of the HP-MPI V1.2 release, they are not tested.
1.2.4.3 Support for New mpirun Options

when starting a job through the automatic job
scheduler/launcher feature of HP-MPI. This flag is only

-ccpwait Causes the mpirun command to wait for the Windows
2008 job to finish before returning to the command prompt

automatic jobs do not wait. This flag is only effective if
used by the HP-MPI automatic job scheduler/launcher.
