This is not logs, it's screen output.

You have the logs, check what happened. I've included verbose logging
messages so you can see what happens on each core.
If the large buffers are confusing, try setting "Save = 1" in john.conf
and re-run the job. But don't forget setting it back afterwards.
My guess is there was only one rule. The MPI code currently does not
detect that there are fewer rules than nodes, so it will hand out this
rule to node 0 and then run out of rules. The others will not get any
job. In this situation it would be better to distribute words instead of
rules. But there are so many different cases.
MPI is really best for Markov and Incremental. Maybe Single, if you have
lots of users and valid user info. The Wordlist modes are just an
experiment and they do not always do the right thing. They always do the
same job, but not always faster.
Given the "right" jobs (either lots of rules, or no rules but very large
wordlist) it does pretty well, but an intelligent, manual (sometimes
tedious) split, after choosing a method depending on the situation,
would almost always perform better.
