[OMPI users] SCALAPACK: Segmentation Fault (11) and Signal code: Address not mapped (1)

2008-01-22 Thread Backlund, Daniel
Hello all, I am using OMPI 1.2.4 on a Linux cluster (Rocks 4.2). OMPI was configured to use the Pathscale Compiler Suite installed in the (NFS mounted on nodes) /home/PROGRAMS/pathscale. I am trying to compile and run the example1.f that comes with the ACML package from AMD, and I am unable

You could try the following MCA setting in your mpirun command --mca mpi_yield_when_idle 1

Dear Barry and Jeff, using OpenMPI we are experimenting something like the behaviour reported by Barry. Let me to introduce the context: we are using RHEL4 U4 on 2 way, AMD Opteron dual core, nodes. Each node is equipped with 16 GB of RAM, plus 4 GB of SWAP. OpenMPi is 1.2.2. Sometimes, for jo

[OMPI users] problems with flash

2008-01-22 Thread Brock Palen
Has anyone had trouble using flash with openmpi? We get segfaults when flash tries to write checkpoints. Note that we had to compile flash+hdf5 with -mcmodel=medium (pgi compilers) because flash statically allocates memory (bad). Just wondering if others have ran into this before. Brock Pal

See this FAQ: http://icl.cs.utk.edu/open-mpi/faq/?category=running#oversubscribing OMPI by default assumes that each process has its own cpu, thus aggressively looks for data to receive. I think there is a way to yield the processor if you want, but I think what your seeing is behavior yo

Well, I have noticed that when a process is waiting for communication from another process the reported CPU usage remains around 100%. Is that what you mean? I haven't explored whether these processes give way to other active processes under the linux scheduler, nor whether I should expect anythi

We've observed an excessive use of CPU system resources with OpenMPI 1.2.4 using TCP connections only on our SL5 x86_64 Cluster. Typically, for a simple Canonical Ring Program, we're seeing between 30 and 70% system usage. Has anybody else noticed this sort of behaviour? And does anybody have some
