#630: Some processor number combinations don't work on Kraken ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: eschnett Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Keywords: | ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Submitting on Kraken with;
sim --remote kraken create-submit maxwell_1proc --testsuite --procs 6 --num-threads 6 --walltime 4:00:00
leads to an error from aprun along the lines of -n cannot exceed -N (sorry, I deleted the error message). The idea was to get one MPI process with 6 threads. This same simfactory submission command works on Datura. The workaround is to use additionally --ppn-used=6. Is there some documentation for what each of these command line options precisely does?
