[OMPI users] multipath support for infiniband

2010-09-21 Thread Jens Domke
Hello, the InfiniBand architecture has a LMC feature to assign mutiple virtual LIDs to one port and so provides multiple paths between two ports. Is there a methode in openmpi to enable message-striping over these paths to increase bandwidth or avoid congestions? (I don't mean the multirail

David, I did try that after I sent the original mail, but the -np 4 flag doesn't fix the problem, the program still hangs. I've also double checked the iptables for the image and for the master node, and all ports are set to accept. Cheers, Ethan -- Dr. Ethan Deneault Assistant Professor
