Hi Jeff (and everyone), Thanks! Now I have compiled the openmpi-1.2.2 successfully under i386-Linux (Debian Sarge) with the following configurations: ./configure CFLAGS=-g -pg -O3 --enable-mpi-threads --enable-progress-threads --enable-static --disable-shared However when I compile my client p

2007-06-07 Thread Ben Allan
Are you saying t(single-process execution) < t(4-process execution) for identical problems on each (same total amount of data)? There's rarely a speedup in such a case-- processing the same amount of data while shipping some fraction of it over a slow network between processing steps is almost cer

2007-06-07 Thread Michael Edwards
If your problem size is not large enough than any MPI program will perform worse on a "large number" of nodes because of the overhead involved in setting up the problem and network latency. Sometimes that "large number" is as small as two :) I am not at all familiar with DL POLY, but if you make

We have a few users using DLPOLY with OMPI. Running just fine. Watch out what kind of simulation you are doing like all MD software, not all simulations are better in parallel. In some the comunication overhead is much worse than running on just one cpu. I see this all the time. You co

2007-06-07 Thread Aaron Thompson
Hello, Does anyone have experience using DL POLY with OpenMPI? I've gotten it to compile, but when I run a simulation using mpirun with two dual- processor machines, it runs a little *slower* than on one CPU on one machine! Yet the program is running two instances on each node. Any idea

You're right, the --wdir option works fine ! Thanks ! I just tried an older version we had compiled (1.2b3), and the error was more explicit than the seg fault we get with 1.2.2 : Could not chdir to home directory /rdu/thomasco: No such file or directory

2007-06-07 Thread Ralph Castain
Have you tried the --wdir option yet? It should let you set your working directory to anywhere. I don't believe it will require you to have a home directory on the backend nodes, though I can't sweathat ssh will be happy if you don't. Just do "mpirun -h" for a full list of options - it will descri

2007-06-07 Thread Michael Edwards
That is the default behavior because having common home areas is fairly common, but with some work you can run your code from wherever is convenient. Using the -wd flag you can have the code run from wherever you want, but the code and data has to get there somehow. If you are using a batch sche

I am trying to switch to OpenMPI, and I ran into a problem : my home directory must exist on all the nodes, or orted will crash. I have a "master" machine where I initiate the mpirun command. Then I have a bunch of slave machines, which will also execute the MPI job. My user exists on all the

Yes, it is the correct approach. This code was just changed and then fixed in the immediate past (yesterday? or perhaps the day before?), and the fix was exactly as you described. https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/changeset/14939 On Jun 7, 2007, at 11:26 AM, Charles Williams wrote:

Hi, I've been using openmpi-1.1.5 with no problems, but I decided to move up to version 1.2 yesterday. I am working with the developers' version of PETSc, so I attempted to configure it using the newly- installed open-mpi. When I tried this, though, I ran into the following problem (from

Can you be a bit more descriptive? What is the exact compilation output (including the error)? And what exactly do you mean by "debug mode" -- compiling Open MPI with and without -g? Please see http:// www.open-mpi.org/community/help/. FWIW, I do not see the symbol "output_local_symbols"
