Reuti has updated his methods and information for achieving tight integration in MPICH2 environments. An updated set of files for mpd integration for MPICH(2) is now at http://gridengine.su​nsource.net/howto/mp​ich2-integration/mpi​ch2-60.tgz

The thread discusses Intel MPI 3.1 with the suggestion that the above methods for MPICH2 may work with the Intel product. The basic issue is that the standard "mpdboot" method has always been difficult to achieve tight integration with Grid Engine environments.

Matthias Neder has posted a quick summary of a tightly integrated MPICH2 integration that can successfully handle his mpiblast application integration.

The summarized solution can be found here:

If you are interested in tightly integrated MPICH2 environments, keep an eye on this mailing list thread. It seems that a current release (mpich2-1.06p1) has some sort of changed behavior that breaks the existing methods for tight integration as documented in the HOWTO.

Older versions of the mpich2 code (version 1.04p1) still seem to integrate without error.
