[slurm-users] srun and mpirun

[Mahmood Naderan]

I tried with one of the NAS benchmarks (BT) with 121 threads since the
number of cores should be square. With srun, I get

 WARNING: compiled for   121 processes
 Number of active processes:     1

           0           1         408         408         408
  Problem size too big for compiled array sizes




However, with mpirun, it seems to be fine

 Number of active processes:   121

 Time step    1
 Time step   20


Regards,
Mahmood
