@ -766,10 +767,14 @@ Here, we list both the host names (aa, bb, and cc) but also how many "slots"
there are for each. Slots indicate how many processes can potentially execute
on a node. For best performance, the number of slots may be chosen to be the
number of cores on the node or the number of processor sockets. If the hostfile
does not provide slots information, a default of 1 is assumed.
When running under resource managers (e.g., SLURM, Torque, etc.),
Open MPI will obtain both the hostnames and the number of slots directly
from the resource manger.
does not provide slots information, Open MPI will attempt to discover the number
of cores (or hwthreads, if the use-hwthreads-as-cpus option is set) and set the
number of slots to that value. This default behavior also occurs when specifying
the \fI-host\fP option with a single hostname. Thus, the command
