Hi, running conventional TCP/IP all is safe AFAICS - all processes will be killed on all involved nodes. The problem arises with OFED, with which we also have this behavior using MVAPICH. Unfortunately we have only a limited number of nodes with InfiniBand, and hence time to test and

It *should* work. We stopped developing for the Cisco (mVAPI) stack a while ago, but as far as we know, it still works fine. See: http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=openfabrics#vapi-support That being said, your approach of "it ain't broke, don't fix it" is certainly quite

Good morning all, I have been very impressed so far with OpenMPI on one of our smaller clusters running Gnu compilers and Gig-E interconnects, so I am considering a build on our large cluster. The potential problem is that the compilers are Intel 8.1 versions and the Infiniband is supported

Hi Henk, The sge script should not require any extra parameter. The qdel command should send the kill signal to mpirun and also remove the SGE allocated tmp directory (in something like /tmp/174.1.all.q/) which contains the OMPI session dir for the running job, and in turns would cause orted

No, byslot appears to be working just fine on our bproc clusters (it is the default mode). As you probably know, bproc is a little strange in how we launch - we have to launch the procs in "waves" that correspond to the number of procs on a node. In other words, the first "wave" launches a proc

Hello, I'm working on a parallel real time renderer: an embarassing parallel problem where latency is the threshold to high perfomance. Two observations: 1) I did a simple "ping-pong" test (the master does a Bcast + an IRecv for each node + a Waitall) similar to effective renderer workload.
