Explanation / Answer

Without seeing the code, I can only suggest you three solutions:

There may be a problem with HPC. It might not be allotting you the required number of processors.

OR

This error occurs when you are mixing two MPI implementations (if your application was built with Open MPI, and you are using MPICH mpirun). Before mpirun, add this to your PBS script

mpirun and the MPI libs must be from the same library.

OR

If you are using bitwise AND anywhere and writing rank&2 == 1 instead of rank & 2 then change it. Reason being rank&2 is bitwise AND. The value is never one. It is either 0 or 2.
