Running MPI Jobs on Windows CCS

In order to run only one MPI process per allocated node on the Windows CCS Cluster, you have to tweak the system variable set by the scheduler. For each allocated processor the system variable (CCP_NODES) contains the associated hostname once.
As a consequence, four MPI processes are started.

In order to remove the redundant hostnames you call your program the following way from inside the scheduler:
mpiexec.exe -hosts %CCP_NODES: 4= 1%

%CCP_NODES: 4= 1% removes three out of four lines, which reduces each hostname down to one occurence, as the same hostnames are always consecutive.
