Which would be more appropriate for a RedHat 9 Beowulf cluster, 2 processors
per node, --with-rpi=sysv or --with-rpi=usysv?

Please tell me what changes to make such that -O would be the default.

Thanks, Troy.

Subject: RE: LAM: MPI_Comm_spawn and c2c

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.

->What version of LAM are you using?  Starting with LAM-7.0, users do
