@greschd do you see any obvious issues with this approach?
LGTM, apart from the suggestion above (remove outdated comment).
Thanks for the quick review @greschd, much appreciated!
This builds on #45 and makes it possible to run executables through
mpirun
, but on a single-process only(!).Previously, when the mock executable would detect that an input is not present in the cache, it would
This approach obviously does not work in conjunction with MPI, since it ends up calling
mpirun
twice: once for running the mock executable, and once again inside the mock executable when it calls the submit script again.This PR changes the mock executable to simply call the fallback executable directly, using the command line arguments that were provided. Environment variables are forwarded to the subprocess automatically using
subprocess.call
.This works for running with
-np 1
, but it still does not solve running with more than one process (one should probably add a check).
