Mehdi,

I can't say for sure, but I remember encountering errors like that pretty frequently when I ran meep-mpi with HDF5 on machines using typical network file systems (NFS). I attributed the problem to too much latency in the input/output process. When I switched to a cluster environment with faster file systems like BlueArc NFS and Panasas I no longer encountered the problem. What sort of file system are you writing data to?

Best,
Alex

Subject: [Meep-discuss] Problem with meep-mpi and HDF5


Hello dear Steven and Meep users

I have a laptop with 4-core intel cpu  Ubuntu 10.04 on it.
first as i saw on unbuntu packge manager website, i installed meep- mpi 1.1.1 with hdf5-serial 1.8.4 but when i run meep for an example it sounds the following error :

HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.8.4) MPI-process 0:

[0] MPI Abort by user Aborting program !
[0] Aborting program!
p0_4481:  p4_error: : 1

so i thought maybe it is because of serial version of hdf5, so i reinstalled the meep-mpi with hdf5-mpich but there is tha error yet!

by the way, i used " mpirun -np 4 meep-mpi filename.ctl"

it will be great if someone helps me .
Sincerely yours
Mehdi
