Re: [OMPI users] MPI_File_write hangs on NFS-mounted filesystem

FWIW, I tried this sample program on OMPI 1.6.x and 1.7.x, and it worked for me on NFS. On Nov 7, 2013, at 12:45 PM, Jeff Hammond wrote: > That's a relatively old version of OMPI. Maybe try the latest > release? That's always the safe bet since the issue might have been > fixed already. > > I

Hi Steven, Dmytry Not sure if this web page is still valid or totally out of date, but there it goes anyway, in the hopes that it may help: http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpi/mpich1-old/docs/install/node38.htm On the other hand, one expert seems to dismiss NFS for paralllel IO: http:

That's a relatively old version of OMPI. Maybe try the latest release? That's always the safe bet since the issue might have been fixed already. I recall that OMPI uses ROMIO so you might try to reproduce with MPICH so you can report it to the people that wrote the MPI-IO code. Of course, this mi

Not sure if this is related, but: I've seen a case of performance degradation on NFS and Lustre when writing NetCDF files. The reason was that the file was filled with a loop writing one 4-byte record at once. Performance became close to local hard drive, when I simply introduced buffering of reco

[OMPI users] MPI_File_write hangs on NFS-mounted filesystem

2013-11-07 Thread Steven G Johnson
The simple C program attached below hangs on MPI_File_write when I am using an NFS-mounted filesystem. Is MPI-IO supported in OpenMPI for NFS filesystems? I'm using OpenMPI 1.4.5 on Debian stable (wheezy), 64-bit Opteron CPU, Linux 3.2.51. I was surprised by this because the problems only st
