Bas hit the nail on the head: When using OpenMPI's mpirun under
Torque TM one apparently *must* omit the "-machinefile $PBS_NODEFILE"
flags and only specify "-np 2", presumably because TM knows all
about the machines under its control.
This behavior is new to me: Is this a feature or a bug in OpenMPI ?
At least a better behavior of mpirun could be expected when you
specify both -np and -machinefile.
