Re: [OMPI users] Invalid results with OpenMPI on Ubuntu Artful because of --enable-heterogeneous

2017-11-16 Thread Xavier Besseron 
Thanks for looking at it!

Apparently, someone requested support for heterogeneous machines long time
ago:

Re: [OMPI users] Invalid results with OpenMPI on Ubuntu Artful because of --enable-heterogeneous

2017-11-13 Thread Gilles Gouaillardet 
Xavier,

i confirm there is a bug when using MPI_ANY_SOURCE with Open MPI
configure'd with --enable-heterogeneous

i made https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/pull/4501 in order to fix
that, and will merge and backport once reviewed


Cheers,

Gilles

Re: [OMPI users] Invalid results with OpenMPI on Ubuntu Artful because of --enable-heterogeneous

2017-11-13 Thread Gilles Gouaillardet 
Xavier,

thanks for the report, i will have a look at it.

is the bug triggered by MPI_ANY_SOURCE ?
/* e.g. does it work if you MPI_Irecv(..., myrank, ...) ? */


Unless ubuntu wants out of the box support between heterogeneous nodes
(for example x86_64 and ppc64),
there is little to no point in configuring Open MPI with the
--enable-heterogeneous option */


Cheers,

Gilles
