VM cluster for MPI runs


  • From the previous class, you should already have two VMs with a cluster master host, clmaster, and a compute node, clnode01:



    In the exercises today, we'll do the following steps:
  • Set passwordless SSH public/private key authentication between clmaster and clnode01

  • Copy the MPI installation, /usr/local/openmpi, from clmaster to clnode01.

  • Add another computational node, clnode02, by cloning clnode01.

  • Run MPI job across three VMs: clmaster, clnode01, clnode02.
