Hi Nam,

There is a method suggested for setting the nice value in
this post:
http://www.lam-mpi.org/MailArchives/lam/2003/05/5975.php


Perhaps to set the nice value to a negative number, you can
setup sudo on all 
the nodes, making the appropriate changes in /etc/sudoers (I
am no expert in 
this area, so do not know exactly what you would need to
add), and doing 
something similar to what the above post suggested:

-------
#!/bin/sh

sudo renice -1 $$
exec myProgram $*
-------
and then do 'mpirun C myScript < input' or whatever...

Hope this helps,

Tim Prins
