Correct, i was not clear. It spawns more than 7 processes per node. (It spawns 8 of them).

When you say "it fails", what do you mean? That it doesn't run at all, or that it still fills each node, or...?

Hello All.
I am trying to run a parallel application that should use one core less than the no of cores that are available on the system. Are there any flags that i can use to specify this.
i tried using the following syntax with machinefile
openmpi-1.4-BM/bin/mpirun -np 14 -npernode 7 -machinefile machinefile ven_nw.e <coll.dt5. This fails. Is there any other way around this. When i get two nodes (with 16 cores) allocated from SGE
and we want to use only 14 cores out of the 16 allocated.
