I have a need to run around 100 processes per node on a small Linux cluster running LAM 7.1  I can only seem to run about 40 – after that it just fails.  Although I have not seen an error about too many file descriptors, I did increase this limit by a factor of 8 and no luck.

 

Does LAM have a built in limit?  Can it be overridden?
