[molpro-user] MOLPRO, MPIRUN & DPLACE

[Joseph Lane]

I am having difficulties submitting jobs to specific chips within my SGI  
Altix 350. It seems that whenever I run molpro using mpirun and dplace, it  
automatically uses the default arguements and ignores my user specified  
dplace arguements. This is resulting in some chips running more than one  
job, while other chips remain idle.

 from a ps -ef, I run

jo       14687 25166  0 11:17 pts/2    00:00:00 mpirun -np 2  
/usr/bin/dplace -e -s1 -c6-7 /home/qchem/molpro2002/molprop_2002_6_i8_mpi

which results in

jo       14690 14687  0 11:17 pts/2    00:00:00  
/home/qchem/molpro2002.6/bin/molprop_2002_6_i8_mpi
jo       14691 14690  0 11:17 pts/2    00:00:00 mpirun -np 1  
/usr/bin/dplace -s1 /home/qchem/molpro2002.6/bin/molprop_2002_6_i8_mpi.exe

i.e it ignores the request for 2 chips, using CPU's 6 & 7, and runs on 1  
chip (CPU 4)


Can anyone please tell me the correct way to submit jobs using mpirun and  
dplace so that
