Hi Ilya

Did you recompile HPL with OpenMPI, or just launched the MPICH2
executable with the OpenMPI mpiexec?
You probably know this, but you cannot mix different MPIs at
compile and run time.

Also, the HPL maximum problem size (N) depends on how much
memory/RAM you have.
If you make N too big, the arrays don't fit in the RAM,
you get into memory paging, which is no good for MPI.
How much RAM do you have?
N=17920 would require about 3.2GB, if I did the math right.
A rule of thumb is maximum N = sqrt(0.8 * RAM_in_bytes / 8)
Have you tried smaller values (above 10000, but below 17920)?
For which N does it start to break?

The HPL TUNING file may help:
http://www.netlib.org/benchmark/hpl/tuning.html

Good luck.


My two cents,
Gus Correa

Good day, everyone!

I have problem while running HPL benchmark with OPENMPI 1.3.3.
When problem size (Ns) smaller 10000 - all is good. But when I set Ns
to 17920 (for example) - I get errors:

I've run HPL with this HPL.dat by using MPICH2 - work's well.
