pbs_mpilam(8B)

πŸ“¦ version 23.06.06-unstable-2026-04, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

okay bestie, this is the manual for pbs_mpilam(8B) from PBS Professional ✨ and it's literally the command to run MPI programs under PBS with LAM MPI πŸ¦‹ Like, that's the whole vibe: pbs_mpilam β€” run MPI programs under PBS with LAM MPI. slay.

🚨 SYNOPSIS 🚨

pbs_mpilam [<mpilam options>]

pbs_mpilam --version

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

Deprecated. 🚨 Not me warning you first thing: this command is deprecated, fr fr. The PBS command pbs_mpilam replaces the standard mpirun command in a PBS LAM MPI job.

If you use it to run a single program, PBS tracks resource usage and controls all user processes spawned by the program. πŸ’–

If you use it to run multiple programs as specified in an application file β€” and that means no <where> argument and no -np/-c option β€” PBS does not manage the spawned user processes of each program. 😭 Important vibe check, bestie.

If the where argument is not specified, pbs_mpilam will try to run the user's program on all available CPUs using the C keyword. 🌈

🌸 Prerequisites 🌸

The PATH on remote machines must contain PBS_EXEC/bin. No cap, that's a prerequisite. ✨

🧚 USAGE 🧚

Usage is the same as for LAM mpirun. All options are passed directly to mpirun. periodt. πŸ’…

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • <mpilam options> β€” the pbs_mpilam command uses the same options as mpirun. 🫢
  • --version β€” the pbs_mpilam command returns its PBS version information and exits. This option can only be used alone. πŸ‘‘

πŸ‘‘ SEE ALSO πŸ‘‘

mpirun(1) β€” go read that one too, bestie. πŸ’œ
