I did this:
[basic]$ lamboot -v hostfile

LAM 7.1.1/MPI 2 C++/ROMIO - Indiana University

n-1<3871> ssi:boot:base:linear: booting n0 (127.0.0.1)
n-1<3871> ssi:boot:base:linear: finished


But it still seemed that lam was booted on only one cpu.
Becase when I ran "mpirun C cpi", the output is :
Process 0 of 1 on n0
pi is approximately 3.1415926544231341, Error is
0.0000000008333410
wall clock time = 0.000347

But when I ran "mpirun -np 4 cpi", the output is :
Process 2 of 4 on n0
Process 0 of 4 on n0
Process 1 of 4 on n0
Process 3 of 4 on n0
pi is approximately 3.1415926544231239, Error is
0.0000000008333307
wall clock time = 0.000196

What's wrong in the world?
