running atk with mpich2 over multiple machines with ssh

[esp]

what you posted works fine, but that is only for one machine .. i do this everyday no problem .. but i need to be able to run on multiple machines

Yes ok, so next you make sure you have mpd configured to know which other machines are in the ring, and if necessary specify a -machinefile argument when running.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MpichCluster is pretty succinct and easy to follow. You can skip most things, like installing gcc etc, but 7 and 11 are very relevant for you I guess. Also, just in case you didn't already, you must have a shared folder where (ideally) ATK and (absolutely necessary) the scripts you run reside.
