Ralph,

Thanks!
I checked output of "ompi_info" and found that OpenMPI on PowerPC is not built with heterogeneous support. We will rebuild OpenMPI and then try the command you suggested.

Best Regards,
Mi

First, I trust that you built Open MPI to support heterogeneous  
operations? I'm not sure what version you are using, but it may well  
have done it by default.

Second, there is an error on your cmd line that is causing the  
problem. It should read:

mpirun -np 1 -host b1 foo_x86 : -np 1 -host b2 foo_ppc

The way you wrote it, foo_x86 will run anywhere it wants (which would  
default to whatever node you were on when you executed this), while  
foo_ppc will run on both hosts b1 and b2 (which means the first rank  
will always go on b1).

Hope that helps
Ralph
