# Intel MPI Support
|
|
|
|
This document describes which set of Intel MPI versions in PModules are supported in the Merlin6 cluster.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### srun
|
|
|
|
We strongly recommend the use of **`srun`** over **`mpirun`** or **`mpiexec`**. Using **`srun`** would properly
|
|
bind tasks in to cores and less customization is needed, while **`mpirun`** and **`mpiexec`** might need more advanced
|
|
configuration and should be only used by advanced users. Please, ***always*** adapt your scripts for using **`srun`**
|
|
before opening a support ticket. Also, please contact us on any problem when using a module.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip
|
|
Always run Intel MPI with the **srun** command. The only exception is
|
|
for advanced users, however **srun** is still recommended.
|
|
|
|
When running with **srun**, one should tell Intel MPI to use the PMI libraries provided by Slurm. For PMI-1:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export I_MPI_PMI_LIBRARY=/usr/lib64/libpmi.so
|
|
|
|
srun ./app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, one can use PMI-2, but then one needs to specify it as follows:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export I_MPI_PMI_LIBRARY=/usr/lib64/libpmi2.so
|
|
export I_MPI_PMI2=yes
|
|
|
|
srun ./app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more information, please read [Slurm Intel MPI Guide](https://slurm.schedmd.com/mpi_guide.html#intel_mpi)
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
Please note that PMI2 might not work properly in some Intel MPI versions.
|
|
If so, you can either fallback to PMI-1 or to contact the Merlin
|
|
administrators.
