Prism 6.0 User's Guide

Use MP Prism to Load MPI Programs

Attempting to use scalar Prism to run an MPI program can cause Prism to abort the process and issue messages such as these:

[unknown MPI_COMM_WORLD unknown] ERROR in MPI_Init: 
unclassified error: RTE_Init_lib: 
Job must be submitted to CRE: No such job
Aborting.

To run an MPI program, you must launch MP Prism. You launch MP Prism by specifying a number of processes to run. Use the -n option to specify the number of processes. For example,

% prism -n 4 a.out

launches MP Prism and loads a.out.
