That usually means the application is trying to execute an instruction 
that's not supported on your CPU.  I don't know if the BSD's overload 
that in any way, but I'd be surprised if they did.


I've not touched the *BSD's since the 90's, so I don't think there's 
much useful advice I could offer other than to try their mailing lists 
(unless someone here has better ideas).


Which BSD are you using?

All the best,
Chris

[Beowulf] Illegal instruction (signal 4)

2020-03-24 Thread Jonathan Engwall
Hello Beowulf,
My BSD is developing nicely. Last night it flopped into third place of the
late 1990's! The package is:
flops-2.1  Floating point benchmark to give your MFLOPS
rating
Simply type "flops."
Tonight I unpacked xhpl from hpl-2.3.tar.gz. If you are looking for it you
can find it here:
http://www.netlib.org/benchmark/hpl/
Building it was not a problem, it install a binary in /usr/local/bin, mpich
makes a handshake...then I see Illegal instruction (signal 4). This
probably means a problem with your application. etc... Refer to the FAQ...
Is this an MPI error or a Linpack error or something else?
I made a couple searches yielding very few results. It is known to exist.
It can be quieted though it might to not allow the application to run.
Should the input file run after being downloaded?
