| | It should work. However, we currently have some I/O forwarding problems
which
| | show up in some environments that will (hopefully) be fixed in the next
| | release. As far as I know, the problem seems to happen mostly with non-mpi
| | applications.
| |
| | Try running a simple mpi application, such as:
| |
| | #include <stdio.h>
| | #include "mpi.h"
| |
| | int main(int argc, char* argv[])
| | {
| | int rank, size;
| |
| | MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
| | MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank);
| | MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &size);
| | printf("Hello, world, I am %d of %d\n", rank, size);
| | MPI_Finalize();
| |
| | return 0;
| | }
| |
| | If that works fine, then it is probably our problem, and not a problem with
| | your setup.
| |
| | Sorry I don't have a better answer :(
|
| That works (and I use the same Debian openmpi 1.2.3-1 set of packages Adam
| has):
|
| edd@basebud:~> opalcc -o /tmp/openmpitest /tmp/openmpitest.c -lmpi
| edd@basebud:~> orterun -np 4 /tmp/openmpitest
| Hello, world, I am 2 of 4
| Hello, world, I am 1 of 4
| Hello, world, I am 0 of 4
| Hello, world, I am 3 of 4
| edd@basebud:~>
|
| I was toying with this at work earlier, and it was hanging there (using
| hostname or uptime as the token binaries) as soon as I increased the np
| parameter beyond 1.
|
| It works here:
|
| edd@basebud:~> orterun -np 4 hostname
| basebud
| basebud
| basebud
| basebud
| edd@basebud:~>
|

Indeed, at work it hangs once it up the np parameter:
foo:~> orterun -np 4 ./openmpitest
Hello, world, I am 0 of 4
Hello, world, I am 1 of 4
Hello, world, I am 2 of 4
Hello, world, I am 3 of 4
orterun: killing job...
Killed
foo:~> orterun -np 4 -H localhost ./openmpitest
Hello, world, I am 1 of 4
Hello, world, I am 0 of 4
Hello, world, I am 2 of 4
Hello, world, I am 3 of 4
foo:~>
Restricting it to localhost helps. Any ideas?
x86 multicore/multicpu, Open MPI 1.2.3, Slurm 1.2.11, Ubuntu 7.04 plus a
handful of handcompiled packages from Debian unstable. More details available
just tell what is needed and how best to compile it.
