Re: [OMPI users] exceedingly virtual memory consumption of MPI, environment if higher-setting "ulimit -s"

Depending on the setup, threads often get allocated a thread local stack with size equal to the stacksize rlimit. Two threads maybe? David Terry Dontje wrote: A couple things to note. First Sun MPI 8.2.1 is effectively OMPI 1.3.4. I also reproduced the below issue using a C code so I think

A couple things to note. First Sun MPI 8.2.1 is effectively OMPI 1.3.4. I also reproduced the below issue using a C code so I think this is a general issue with OMPI and not Fortran based. I did a pmap of a process and there were two anon spaces equal to the stack space set by ulimit. In

Hi all, I'm trying to interleave computation with communication. As a result, I have resorted to using MPI with POSIX threads. Primarily, I am trying to communicate a partial vector v3 while computing an inner product v1*v2 (mod q). To give you an idea of the platform and the libraries: 1. Intel

People can correct me if I am wrong, but are you NOT suppose to run applications directly and only suppose to submit them using the batch process "qsub" to prevent all this overuse of resources? > Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:21:46 +0100 > From: kapi...@rz.rwth-aachen.de > To:

[OMPI users] exceedingly virtual memory consumption of MPI environment if higher-setting "ulimit -s"

2009-11-19 Thread Paul Kapinos
Hi volks, we see an exeedingly *virtual* memory consumtion through MPI processes if "ulimit -s" (stack size)in profile configuration was setted higher. Furthermore we believe, every mpi process started, wastes about the double size of `ulimit -s` value which will be set in a fresh console
