Re: [OMPI users] [Fwd: mpi alltoall memory requirement]

2009-04-23 Thread viral . vkm

Hi
Thanks for your response.
However, I am running
mpiexec  -ppn 24 -n 192 /opt/IMB-MPI1 alltaoll -msglen /root/temp

And file /root/temp contains entry upto 65535 size only. That means  
alltoall test will run upto 65K size only


So, in that case I will require very less memory but then in that case also  
test is running out-of-memory. Please help someone to understand the  
scenario.
Or do I need to switch to some algorithm or do I need to set some other  
environment variables ? or anything like that ?

Your calculation looks correct, the conclusion is slightly wrong



however. The Application buffers will consume 36Gb of memory, the rest



of the application, any comms buffers and the usual OS overhead will be



on top of this so putting only 36Gb of ram in your nodes will still



leave you short.





Ashley,
