Process Files

Process files allow applications to be started on specific hosts

Each line in a process file should contain the following:
<node name> <# application instances> "<application name and arguments>" <remote output mode> <display mode>
Remote output mode and display mode are optional.  If they are not specified, they default to "Bypass" and "None" respectively. (See the system console documentation for more information on remote output mode and display mode).

The order in which nodes are listed determines the process rank, with rank starting at 0.
 
The sample file below shows a process file which will begin the application "mpij.ibmsuite.Interf" on 3 nodes.  Process 0 will be everest.cs.byu.edu and processes 1 and 2 will be on k2.cs.byu.edu.  Output from everest.cs.byu.edu will be redirected over the network and displayed by the system console as well as logged on the system console machine.  Output from k2.cs.byu.edu will not be redirected.

Sample 

everest.cs.byu.edu    1    "mpij.ibmsuite.Interf"    Network    Win&Log
k2.cs.byu.edu         2    "mpij.ibmsuite.Interf"    Bypass     None
