Hello,

If you configured lam with a c2c rpi (usysv, sysv), the spawned process
will use c2c by default. You can use --with-rpi=sysv or
--with-rpi=usysv as a configure option to make one of the c2c rpi's as
default rpi.

By default, the -0 option is not set. If you cannot upgrade to LAM-7.02,
and if you are going to run your jobs on *homogenous* machines only, we
could indicate to you where you could make changes to the LAM source so
that -0 would no longer be required. Let us know if this is the case.

Hope this helps. Thanks.

->Unfortunately, I'm using LAM 6.5.9.  Is there anyway to enable the -c2c and
->-O functionalities outside of mpirun under LAM 6.5.9?  I'm using
->MPI_Comm_spawn to start the multicomputer therefore mpirun is not useful.

->Thanks, Troy.

->Hello,
->
->Apologies for the late reply.
->
->What version of LAM are you using?  Starting with LAM-7.0, users do not have
->to specify the '-0' flag to mpirun for optimization as this is taken careof
->automatically by LAM.  Also, you can select an RPI by setting the
->Environment variable LAM_MPI_SSI_RPI to a valid RPI name (tcp, sysv, usysv,
->etc)
->
->Please see the LAM-7.02 User's Guide for more information on SSI parameters.
->Hope this helps.
