yes, sorry. I did mean 1.5. In my case, going back to 1.43 solved my oom problem. On Sun, Oct 17, 2010 at 4:57 PM, Ralph Castain wrote: > There is no OMPI 2.5 - do you mean 1.5? > > On Oct 17, 2010, at 4:11 PM, Brian Budge wrote: > >> Hi Jody - >> >> I noticed this exact

Re: [OMPI users] openmpi 1.5 build from rpm fails: --program-prefix now checked in configure

Thanks for the report. Someone reported pretty much the same issue to me off-list a few days ago for RHEL5. It looks like RHEL5 / 6 ship with Autoconf 2.63, and have a /usr/lib/rpm/macros that defines %configure to include options such as --program-suffix. We bootstrapped Open MPI v1.5

Hi, I need to design a data structure to transfer data between nodes on Open MPI system. Some elements of the the structure has dynamic size. For example, typedef struct{ double data1;vector dataVec; } myDataType; The size of the dataVec depends on some intermidiate computing results. If I

As Rob mentions There are three capabilities to consider: 1) The process (or processes) that will do the I/O are members of the file handle's hidden communicator and the call is collective 2)) The process (or processes) that will do the I/O are members of the file handle's hidden communicator

The fix should be there - just didn't get mentioned. Let me know if it isn't and I'll ensure it is in the next one...but I'd be very surprised if it isn't already in there. On Oct 19, 2010, at 3:03 AM, Federico Golfrè Andreasi wrote: > Hi Ralf ! > > I saw that the new realease 1.5 is out. >
