[maker-devel] Maker-Error when started with IMPI

[Carson Holt]

It means one of two things.

1. The mpiexec you called is not from Intel MPI (try 'which mpiexec' to verify the location and that it is not some other random mpiexec executable).
2. It is an extremely old version of Intel MPI (in which case the instructions I gave you would not apply)


MPD is an old launcher used in MPICH1 and early versions of MPICH2. It’s been abandoned since about 2008 when MPICH2 switched to the hydra launcher which is still used in MPICH3.

So either you are pointing to an old version of MPICH or you have a very old version of Intel MPI based off of MPICH.
