问题描述
通常，当我使用mpirun时，可以使用比计算机上实际可用数量更多的处理器来重载"它.例如，在我的四核Mac上，我可以运行mpirun -np 29 python -c "print 'hey'"没问题.我现在在另一台计算机上，这将引发以下错误:
Usually when I use mpirun, I can "overload" it, using more processors than there acctually are on my computer. For example, on my four-core mac, I can run mpirun -np 29 python -c "print 'hey'" no problem. I'm on another machine now, which is throwing the following error:
$ mpirun -np 25 python -c "print 'hey'"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are not enough slots available in the system to satisfy the 25 slots
that were requested by the application:
python
Either request fewer slots for your application, or make more slots available
for use.

为什么超频"的mpirun在这里不起作用?有什么方法可以克服此错误消息，并成功使用比可用处理器更多的处理器运行?
Why isn't "overclocking" mpirun working here? Is there a way I can overcome this error message and successfully run with more processors than are available?
推荐答案
根据 https://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running#oversubscribing ，您可以使用主机文件超额订阅节点.在继续操作之前，请注意，这种方式会严重降低节点的性能.另外，如果您用于运行应用程序的系统使用的是队列系统，则这可能无效.
According to https://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running#oversubscribing you could oversubscribe your node using a hostfile. Before proceeding, be careful that this way you can severely degrade the performance of the node. Also, if the system you use to run the application is using a queue system, this may not be valid.
首先创建一个包含以下内容的主机文件(名为主机文件)
First create a hostfile (named hostfile) containing
localhost slots=25
像这样简单地运行您的应用程序
The simply run your application like
mpirun --hostfile hostfile -np 25 python -c "print 'hey'"
