Hi Uwe,
The ARMs are raspberrypis running raspbian and this is LittleEndian.
Cheerio,
Luis

Hi,
as far as I know, ARM could be either little endian or mixed endian,
depending on how old the design is…
From Wikipedia:
"SPARC historically used big-endian until version 9, which is bi-endian,
similarly the ARM architecture was little-endian before version 3 when
it became bi-endian, and the PowerPC and Power Architecture descendants
of POWER are also bi-endian."
So it might depends on the firmware or kernel if your ARM is working in
little endianess mode.

Uwe

Dear Aaaron,
thanks a lot, I can pick up some logging on Friday morning. The stuff is
in school.

Hi Luis,
That's surprising to me. Can you send any errors you got when the
x86_64 controller was talking to the ARM compute nodes? I'm wondering
if there's a field in one of the SLURN binary protocol structures
whose length is architecture dependent. From what I gather ARM is
little endian so I don't *think* it's an endianness issue.
Thanks,
Aaron

Hello,
I try to use slurm on a cluster buid by school kids. The controller
daemon (slurmctld) runs on a x86_64 box with Debian wheezy and the
associated Debian package. The compute nodes are ARM based running
as well Debian wheezy (slurmd). It seems that the slurmctld and
slurmd cannot communicate which other. If I move the controller to an
arm
platform everything works fine. For cross testing I added a x86_64
box as compute node and that one could communicate with the x86_64
base controller.
This allows to assume, I think, that there is some trouble with the
communication protocol as it is not architecture/hardware independent.
Could you give me any help on how to deal with this?
Thanks a lot,
Luis
