π DESCRIPTION π
Deprecated. π¨ 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. π
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. π 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. π
πΈ Prerequisites πΈ
The PATH on remote machines must contain PBS_EXEC/bin. No cap, that's a prerequisite. β¨
π§ USAGE π§
Usage is the same as for LAM mpirun. All options are passed directly to mpirun. periodt. π
β¨ OPTIONS β¨
