Best guess, without seeing the mpirun cmd line, is that all the procs
are executing on one computer. In that scenario, we default to using
shared memory, so there would be no traffic going across the network.

Hi all,
I'm running openmpi-1.2.6, and my computer is connected to a
Ethernet network. I have no experience in setting up a network that
supports parallel computing using MPI before, nor do I know much
about networking. So please excuse me if my questions seem too
simple or silly.
What I simply did was install the Open MPI package on my computer,
and executed the following simple code to test if I can successfully
run MPI programs:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <mpi.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
int rank, size, i = 1, j, total = 1, total2;
MPI_Status status;
MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank);
MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &size);
printf("Hello... %d of %d processors\n", rank, size);
if (rank != 0)
MPI_Send(&i, 1, MPI_INT, 0, 1, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
else
{
for (j = 1 ; j < size ; j++)
{
MPI_Recv(&i, 1, MPI_INT, j, 1, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &status);
total += i;
}
printf("%d Calculated total: %d\n", rank, total);
}
MPI_Reduce(&i, &total2, 1, MPI_INT, MPI_SUM, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
if (!rank)
printf("%d Reduced total: %d\n", rank, total2);
MPI_Finalize();
return 0;
}
I got the correct output, i.e.
Hello... 0 of 3 processors
Hello... 1 of 3 processors
Hello... 2 of 3 processors
0 Calculated total: 3
0 Reduced total: 3
together with the warning message about OpenIB and UDAPL, which
after some Googling, I was able to resolve using "-mca btl
^openib,udapl".
I was trying to see if my MPI program is really running on the
Ethernet network, so I deactivated the network, but the program
still works. Then I unplugged the network cable and still the
program works. Then I ran Wireshark, which is a kind of packet
sniffer program, and ran the MPI program again to see if the Send/
Receive functions work right, as I thought if the program is sending/
receiving the variable i, something should show up in Wireshark.
However, no packets are captured by Wireshark.
Can someone help me understand what is going on here, as it seems
like the program is working when it shouldn't?
Thank you.
Regards,
Rayne
