Sun MPI 4.0 User's Guide: With LSF

Preface

The Sun MPI 4.0 User's Guide: With LSF explains how to execute Sun MPI jobs on systems running Sun HPC ClusterTools 3.0 software with the LSF Suite, version 3.2.3, from Platform Computing Corporation. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the LSF Batch User's Guide.

Note -

If your cluster uses the Sun Cluster Runtime Environment (CRE) instead of the LSF 3.2.3 workload management suite, read the Sun MPI 4.0 User's Guide: With CRE instead of this manual.
