[OMPI users] OpenMPI 1.2.3: can't find mca libraries

2007-08-17 Thread Tudor Buican
Hi, everybody. I just added OpenMPI 1.2.3 to a Rocks cluster that already had OpenMPI 1.1 installed. I built an rpm for 1.2.3 from the tarball I had downloaded from open-mpi.org, and I used the option --with-devel- headers, which I needed in order to build a software package that required all the

If you care, there's a decent explanation on that web page of what the issue is and why MPI has problems with it (mainly dealing with non-blocking communication operations), and another good explanation is provided in the 2nd half of chapter 10 of the MPI-2 spec (the Fortran section of the

Re: [OMPI users] Process termination problem

2007-08-17 Thread Daniel SpÄngberg
Dear George, I think that the best way is to call MPI_Abort. However, this forces the user to modify the code, which I already have suggested. But their application is not calling exit directly, I merely wrote the simplest code that demonstrates the problem. Their application is a Fortran p

This is not a problem generated by the MPI library. The problem come from the Fortran compilers themselves and therefore apply to all MPI libraries (including Open MPI). george. On Aug 17, 2007, at 12:34 PM, Brock Palen wrote: As a SA I am not well learned in the ways of fortran, I am al

As a SA I am not well learned in the ways of fortran, I am also less learned in the ways of the internals of OMPI. We use the PGI compilers with OMPI and we have a user who is wondering does the the following issue apply to openMPI? http://nf.apac.edu.au/training/MPI/MPI_2.0/node236.html#Node

2007-08-17 Thread George Bosilca
The MPI standard state that the correct way to abort/kill an MPI application is using the MPI_Abort function. Except, if you're doing some kind of fault tolerance stuff, there is no reason to end one of your MPI processes via exit. Thanks, george. On Aug 16, 2007, at 12:04 PM, Daniel
