<p>Well you owe a big thanks to Abigail because she let me use her
account this weekend to figure out what the heck was going on with
MPI across the cluster. My account was running just fine -- but
apparently, based on Friday's class, your accounts were not
finding the appropriate files.</p>
<p>I could have reverted back to the system-level MPI version 1, but
that would have been a travesty. Anyway, after a lot of testing I
think I figured out where the problem lies -- and it is when
profiles (.bashrc and .bash_profile) get loaded in a parallel call
across a ssh connection.</p>
<p>To circumvent this for this assignment we can specify the
location of the MPI installation on the mpirun command line. I
have updated the assignment to reflect this.</p>
<p>The assignment will open again tomorrow, but since you have a big
project due tomorrow I will extend the deadline to Thurdsay (which
means you can complete it in class on Wednesday).</p>
<p>I will be in the classroom tomorrow during our normal time if you
have questions related to completing the BabyBLAS or if you want
to go ahead and try the MPI assignment not that it has been
emended.<br>
