Local Hydra Options

This section describes the local options of the Intel® MPI Library's Hydra process manager. Local options are applied only to the argument set they are specified in. Argument sets are separated by a colon ':'.

-n <number-of-processes> or -np <number-of-processes>

Use this option to set the number of MPI processes to run with the current argument set.

-env <envar> <value>

Use this option to set the <envar> environment variable to the specified <value> for all MPI processes in the current argument set.

-envall

Use this option to propagate all environment variables in the current argument set. See the I_MPI_HYDRA_ENV environment variable for more details.

-envnone

Use this option to suppress propagation of any environment variables to the MPI processes in the current argument set.

NOTE:
The option does not work for localhost.

-envexcl <list-of-envvar-names>

Use this option to suppress propagation of the listed environment variables to the MPI processes in the current argument set.

-envlist <list>

Use this option to pass a list of environment variables with their current values. <list> is a comma separated list of environment variables to be sent to the MPI processes.

-host <nodename>

Use this option to specify a particular <nodename> on which the MPI processes are to be run. For example, the following command executes a.out on hosts host1 and host2:

$ mpiexec.hydra -n 2 -host host1 ./a.out : -n 2 -host host2 ./a.out

-path <directory>

Use this option to specify the path to the <executable> file to be run in the current argument set.

-wdir <directory>

Use this option to specify the working directory in which the <executable> file runs in the current argument set.
