Weird. I used mpich 1.2 in the past and never saw this. I recommend trying mpich2 configured with mpd. Since that doesn't use ssh for connection, you won't see this problem. I believe mpich1 can also be configured to use mpd.

Hi Berk,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your quick response. I tried cpi. I'm seeing the same
stuff:<br>

Any more ideas?? I didn't specify anything special to configure when I
built mpich. I'll also run this by the mpich folks. <br>

<br>
I have built ParaView 2.4.4 enabling mpi and offscreen rendering to be<br>
used on some of our servers. I am seeing some an anomoly in the command<br>
line of the resulting processes when I do a ps.<br>
<br>
I initially start pvclient -rc. I then runn pvserver with the
following
<br>
command line:<br>
mpirun -np 2 /home/galbja/paraview-2.4.4-bin/bin/pvserver -rc<br>
--use-offscreen-rendering<br>
<br>
Everything connects and the GUI comes up. But when I do a ps on the<br>
server, here is what I see (cleaned out a bit so it is readable):

<br>
My question is this. On the last two lines, the "-p4amslave" argments
<br>
have been changed to "4amslave" somewhere along the line.<br>
<br>
When I open a file and accept it, the head node appears to be doing most<br>
if not all the work. The "slave" process isn't doing squat. It
renders
<br>
but it appears to be that the parallel capabilities aren't being used.<br>
<br>
Where have I gone awry? This is happening on our cluster, and on a<br>
dual-quadcore machine. When I run on our smp machine, everything is
<br>
fine - but it is using a different (SGI) mpi implementation. Everything<br>
else is using mpich.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your help.<br>
<br>
