Re: [OMPI devel] MPI_Barrier performance

2008-04-17 Thread George Bosilca
This sounds like the fuel problem we're facing right now. Potentially, there are enough resources (for now). Simultaneously, there is enough demand (for ever). But they are connected by this artificially maintained tiny pipe ... The tuned collective are not supposed to adapt to all cases.

Re: [OMPI devel] SIGUSR2 response

That is strange. If your procs are trapping the signal, then it should be okay - at least, my signal traps are operating cleanly in Mac, TM, and SLURM environments. Let me know if you see anything further and maybe we can figure out why it is behaving that way. Ralph On 4/17/08 2:03 PM,

Ralph, Thanks for looking into this. I do not think that the behaviour needs to change - it is correct. However, for some reason this is not how things were running for me - I wander what the difference is. I worked around this by getting the pid's of the mpi processes, and delivered the

[OMPI devel] SIGUSR2 response

2008-04-17 Thread Ralph Castain
The question was raised on this list a short while ago about potentially incorrect behavior by ORTE/OMPI in response to SIGUSR2 being sent to application procs. I have spent some time chasing this down, and it does -not- appear to be an issue within our systems. What I have found is that if you

[OMPI devel] Using do-not-launch, display-map, and do-not-resolve to test mappings

2008-04-17 Thread Ralph H Castain
Brief summary: In r18190, I have restored the --do-not-launch capability, and added a --do-not-resolve flag. This note describes how you can use those to build and test application mappings without first getting an allocation and/or launching it. Longer description: Users and developers have

[OMPI devel] New mapper module

I have implemented and committed (r18190) a new RMAPS module that sequentially maps ranks to the hosts listed in a hostfile. You must set -mca rmaps seq in order to access this module - it will -not- be selected any other way. The basic method of operation respects the hostfile descriptions on
