Re: [OMPI users] OpenMPI locking up only on IB

2008-07-02 Thread Brock Palen
In trying to build 1.2.6 with the pgi compilers it makes an MPI library that works with tcp, sm. But it segfaults on openib. Both our intel compiler version and pgi version of 1.2.6 blow up like this when we force IB. So this is a new issue. Is there a way to shut off early completion in

Sorry - went to one of your links to get that info. We know OMPI 1.2.x isn't thread safe. This is unfortunately another example of it. Hopefully, 1.3 will be better. Ralph On 7/2/08 11:01 AM, "Ralph H Castain" wrote: > Out of curiosity - what version of OMPI are you using? >

[OMPI users] mpirun w/ enable-mpi-threads spinning up cputime when app path is invalid

2008-07-02 Thread Steve Johnson
If mpirun is given an application that isn't in the PATH, then instead of exiting it prints the error that it failed to find the executable and then proceeds spins up cpu time. strace shows an endless stream of sched_yield(). For example, if "blah" doesn't exist: mpirun -np 16 blah Ditto if

We have a code (arts) that locks up only when running on IB. Works fine on tcp and sm. When we ran it in a debugger. It locked up on a MPI_Comm_split() That as far as I could tell was valid. Because the split was a hack they did to use MPI_File_open() on a single cpu, we reworked it
