Re: [OMPI users] mca_btl_mx_init: mx_open_endpoint() failed with status=20

2007-03-30 Thread Tim Prins
Hi Valmor, What is happening here is that when Open MPI tries to create MX endpoint for communication, mx returns code 20, which is MX_BUSY. At this point we should gracefully move on, but there is a bug in Open MPI 1.2 which causes a segmentation fault in case of this type of error. This will

Hi all, I'm somewhat new to OpenMPI, but I'm currently evaluating it as a communications mechanism between Windows and Unix servers. I noticed that under your FAQs ( http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=supported-systems), it says: There are plans to support Microsoft Windows in the not-

Hello, I am getting this error any time the number of processes requested per machine is greater than the number of cpus. I suspect it is something on the configuration of mx / ompi that I am missing since another machine I have without mx installed runs ompi correctly with oversubscription. Tha

P.s. I just found out you have to recompile/relink the MPI code with -g in order for the File/Address field to show non-garbage. On 3/30/07 2:43 PM, "Heywood, Todd" wrote: > George, > > It turns out I didn't have libunwind either, but didn't notice since mpiP > compiled/linked without it (OK,

George, It turns out I didn't have libunwind either, but didn't notice since mpiP compiled/linked without it (OK, so I should have checked the config log). However, once I got it it wouldn't compile on my RHEL system. So, following this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/libunwind-devel@nongnu.

Hello, I have Torque as the batch manager and Open MPI (1.0.1) as the MPI library. Initially I request for 'n' processors through Torque. After the Open MPI jobs starts, based on certain conditions, I want to acquire more processors outside of the initially assigned nodes by Torque. Is this a prob

Generating core files is not a feature of Open MPI but of the operating system. Based on the shell script you're using there is a different way to reach this goal. Usually via limit (or ulimit). This webpage can give you more information about this (http://www.faqs.org/ faqs/hp/hpux-faq/sect

You should be able to get a core dump pretty easily by doing something like this: { char *foo = 0; *foo = 13; } Ensure that your coredumpsize limit is set to "unlimited" in the shell on all nodes where you are running your MPI processes. It's also helpful to set Linux (I'm assuming yo

Short version: just don't list that host in the OMPI hostfile. Long version: In LAM, we had the constraint that you *had* to include the local host in the hostfile that you lambooted. This was undesirable in some cases, such as lambooting from a cluster's head node (where you didn't want

I'm using OpenMPI, and the documentation says that only a totalview style of debugger can be used. With that in mind, all I want to do is get a core-dump when a process crashes. I can then just load the core into GDB. Is there any easy way to do this? I tried calling signal(SIGSEGV, SIG_DFL); sig
