Re: [OMPI users] Help Getting Started with Open MPI and PMIx and UCX
_MAC, et al, Things are looking up. By specifying, --with-verbs=no, things are looking up. I can run helloworld. But in a new-for-me wrinkle, I can only run on *more* than one node.

Re: [OMPI users] Help Getting Started with Open MPI and PMIx and UCX
Hi Matt, There seem to be two different issues here: a) The warning message comes from the openib btl. Given that Omnipath has verbs API and you have the necessary libraries in your system, openib btl finds itself as a potential transport and prints the warning during its init (openib btl is its way to deprecation). You may try to explicitly ask for vader btl given you are running on shared mem: -mca btl self,vader -mca pml ob1. Or better, explicitly build without openib: ./configure --with-verbs=no … b) Not my field of expertise, but you may be having some conflict with the external components you are using: --with-pmix=/usr/nlocal/pmix/2.1 --with-libevent=/usr . You may try not specifying these and using the ones provided by OMPI. _MAC From: users [mailto:users-boun...@lists.open-mpi.org] On Behalf Of Matt Thompson Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2019 6:04 AM To: Open MPI Users Subject: Re: [OMPI users] Help Getting Started with Open MPI and PMIx and UCX Well, By turning off UCX compilation per Howard, things get a bit better in that something happens!

Re: [OMPI users] Help Getting Started with Open MPI and PMIx and UCX
Matt, There are two ways of using PMIx - if you use mpirun, then the MPI app (e.g. the PMIx client) will talk to mpirun and orted daemons (e.g. the PMIx server) - if you use SLURM srun, then the MPI app will directly talk to the PMIx server provided by SLURM. (note you might have to srun --mpi=pmix_v2 or something) In the former case, it does not matter whether you use the embedded or external PMIx. In the latter case, Open MPI and SLURM have to use compatible PMIx libraries, and you can either check the cross-version compatibility matrix, or build Open MPI with the same PMIx used by SLURM to be on the safe side (not a bad idea IMHO). Regarding the hang, I suggest you try different things - use mpirun in a SLURM job (e.g. sbatch instead of salloc so mpirun runs on a compute node rather than on a frontend node) - try something even simpler such as mpirun hostname (both with sbatch and salloc) - explicitly specify the network to be used for the wire-up. you can for example mpirun --mca oob_tcp_if_include 192.168.0.0/24 if this is the network subnet by which all the nodes (e.g. compute nodes and frontend node if you use salloc) communicate.

Re: [OMPI users] Help Getting Started with Open MPI and PMIx and UCX
Hi Matt, Few comments/questions: - If your cluster has Omni-Path, you won’t need UCX. Instead you can run using PSM2, or alternatively OFI (a.k.a. Libfabric) - With the command you shared below (4 ranks on the local node) (I think) a shared mem transport is being selected (vader?). So, if the job is not starting this seems to be a runtime issue rather than transport…. Pmix? slurm?

They're generally good things. What they do is add linker flags to the wrapper compilers (i.e., mpicc and friends) that basically put a default path to find libraries at run time (that can/will in most cases override LD_LIBRARY_PATH -- but you can override these linked-in-default-paths if you want/need to).

They're generally good things.

Re: [OMPI users] Help Getting Started with Open MPI and PMIx and UCX
All, With some help, I managed to build an Open MPI 4.0.0 with: ./configure --disable-wrapper-rpath --disable-wrapper-runpath --with-psm2 --with-slurm --enable-mpi1-compatibility --with-ucx --with-pmix=/usr/nlocal/pmix/2.1 --with-libevent=/usr CC=icc CXX=icpc FC=ifort The MPI 1 is because I need to build HDF5 eventually and I added psm2 because it's an Omnipath cluster. The libevent was probably a red herring as libevent-devel wasn't installed on the system. It was eventually, and I just didn't remove the flag. And I saw no errors in the build! However, I seem to have built an Open MPI that doesn't work: (1099)(master) $ mpirun --version mpirun (Open MPI) 4.0.0 Report bugs to http://www.open-mpi.org/community/help/ (1100)(master) $ mpirun -np 4 ./helloWorld.mpi3.SLES12.OMPI400.exe It just sits there...forever. Can the gurus here help me figure out what I managed to break? Perhaps I added too much to my configure line? Not enough?

[OMPI users] Help Getting Started with Open MPI and PMIx and UCX
Dear Open MPI Gurus, A cluster I use recently updated their SLURM to have support for UCX and PMIx. These are names I've seen and heard often at SC BoFs and posters, but now is my first time to play with them. So, my first question is how exactly should I build Open MPI to try these features out. I'm guessing I'll need things like "--with-ucx" to test UCX, but is anything needed for PMIx? Second, when it comes to running Open MPI, are there new MCA parameters I need to look out for when testing? Sorry for the generic questions, but I'm more on the user end of the cluster than the administrator end, so I tend to get lost in the detailed presentations, etc. I see online.
