Re: [OMPI users] How does authentication between nodes work without password? (Newbie alert on)

Sounds about right. I'm not near a keyboard to check the reasons why pipe(2) would fail. Specifically, OMPI is failing when it is trying to setup stdin/stdout/stderr forwarding for your job. Very strange. Sent from my PDA. No type good. On Feb 11, 2011, at 9:56 PM, "Tena Sakai"

It is concerning if the pipe system call fails - I can't think of why that would happen. Thats not usually a permissions issue but rather a deeper indication that something is either seriously wrong on your system or you are running out of file descriptors. Are file descriptors limited on a

Hi Terry, Someone else at the University builds the packages that I use, and we've been experimenting for the last few days with different openmpi build options to see what might be causing this. Re the stack, I can always see the entire stack in the TV stack pane, and I can always click on

Hi Tena Since root can but you can't, is is a directory permission problem perhaps? Check the execution directory permission (on both machines, if this is not NFS mounted dir). I am not sure, but IIRR OpenMPI also uses /tmp for under-the-hood stuff, worth checking permissions there also. Just a

[OMPI users] MPI_Win_create with size=0 expose memory anyway

2011-02-11 Thread Patrick Le Dot
Hi all, I am testing the one-sided message passing (MPI_Put, MPI_Get) and it seems to me that the size parameter of MPI_Win_create() is definitly not taken into account. Then I can put/get messages using a window created with size=0 (or put/get after any others limits between 0 and the original

Sorry I have to ask this, did you build your lastest OMPI version, not just the application, with the -g flag too. IIRC, when I ran into this issue I was actually able to do stepi's and eventually pop up the stack however that is really no way to debug a program :-). Unless OMPI is somehow
