Hi,
I'm getting the errors below when calling MPI_Alltoallv() as part of
a matrix transpose operation. It's 100% repeatable when testing with
16M matrix elements divided between 64 processes on 32 dual core nodes.
There are never any errors with fewer processes or elements, including
the same 32 nodes with only one process per node. If anyone wants
any additional information or has suggestions to try, please let me
know. Otherwise, I'll have the system rebooted and hope the problem
goes away.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The retry count is a down counter initialized on creation of the QP. Retry
count is defined in the InfiniBand Spec 1.2 (12.7.38):
The total number of times that the sender wishes the receiver to retry tim-
eout, packet sequence, etc. errors before posting a completion error.
Note that two mca parameters are involved here:
btl_mvapi_ib_retry_count - The number of times the sender will attempt to
retry (defaulted to 7, the maximum value).
btl_mvapi_ib_timeout - The local ack timeout parameter (defaulted to 10). The
actual timeout value used is calculated as:
(4.096 micro-seconds * 2^btl_mvapi_ib_timeout).
See InfiniBand Spec 1.2 (12.7.34) for more details.
What to do next:
One item to note is the hosts on which this error has occured, it has been
observed that rebooting or removing a particular host from the job can resolve
this issue. Should you be able to identify a specific cause or additional
trouble shooting information please report this to de...@open-mpi.org.
