Re: [OMPI users] [EXTERNAL] hwloc support for Power9/IBM AC922 servers

2019-04-16 Thread Josh Hursey
Our Spectrum MPI and JSM teams at IBM regularly use hwloc with and without Open MPI on a variety of ppc64le hardware including the AC922 systems. I've personally tested the 1.11 and 2.0 series and it is working well for me on those systems. Let us know if you encounter any issues. -- Josh On Tu

[OMPI users] Packaging issue with linux spec file when not build_all_in_one_rpm due to empty grep

2019-04-16 Thread Daniel Letai
In src rpm version 4.0.1 if building with --define 'build_all_in_one_rpm 0' the grep -v _mandir docs.files is empty. The simple workaround is to follow earlier pattern and pipe to /bin/true, as the spec doesn't really care if the file is empty. I'm wonderi

Hi Prentice, We are using OpenMPI and HWLOC on POWER9 servers. The topology information looks good from our initial use. Let me know if you need anything specifically. S. — Si Hammond Scalable Computer Architectures Sandia National Laboratories, NM > On Apr 16, 2019, at 11:28 AM, Prentice Bis

[OMPI users] hwloc support for Power9/IBM AC922 servers

2019-04-16 Thread Prentice Bisbal via users
OpenMPI Users, Are any of you using hwloc on Power9 hardware, specifically the IBM AC922 servers? If so, have you encountered any issues? I checked the documentation for the latest version (2.03), and found this: Since it uses standard Operating System information, hwloc's support is mostly

Hi Tim, it helps, up to four processes. But it has two drawbacks. 1) Using more cores/threads than the machine provides (so the actual over-subscription) is still not possible. 2) it still requires an additional command line argument. What I'd like to see is that a call of mpirun with an arbitr

Hi Steffen, I'm not sure if this will help you (I'm by far no expert) but the mailing group pointed by to using: mpirun --use-hwthread-cpus to solve something similar. Kind regards, Tim On Tue, 16 Apr 2019 at 19:01, Steffen Christgau wrote: > Hi everyone, > > on my 2 cores/4 threads developm

[OMPI users] allow over-subscription by default

2019-04-16 Thread Steffen Christgau
Hi everyone, on my 2 cores/4 threads development platform I want to start programs via mpirun with over-subscription enabled by default. I have some external packages which have tests that use more than 2 processes. They all fail because Open MPI refuses them to run due to over-subscription. I kno
