Hi -
I'm trying to port an application to use OpenMPI, and running
into a problem. The program (written in Python, parallelized
using either of "pypar" or "pyMPI") itself invokes "mpirun"
in order to manage external, parallel processes, via something like:
orterun -np 2 python myapp.py
where myapp.py contains:
os.system('orterun -np 2 nwchem.x nwchem.inp > nwchem.out')
I have this working under both LAM-MPI and MPICH on a variety
of different machines. However, with OpenMPI, all I get is an
immediate return from the system call and the error:
"OOB: Connection to HNP lost"
I have verified that the command passed to os.system is correct,
and even that it runs correctly if "myapp.py" doesn't invoke any
MPI calls of its own.
I'm testing openMPI on a single box, so there's no machinefile-stuff currently
active. The system is running Fedora Core 6 x86-64, I'm using the latest
openmpi-1.2.3-1.src.rpm rebuilt on the machine in question,
I can provide additional configuration details if necessary.
Thanks, in advance, for any help or advice,
Lev
