Hi Joshua Again, forwarded by the friendly elf - so include me directly in any reply. I gather from Jeff that you are attempting to do something with bproc - true? If so, I will echo what Jeff said: bproc support in OMPI is being dropped with the 1.3 release due to lack of interest/support. Just

Hmmmthis email thread was forwarded to me by a friendly elf, so be sure to include me directly in any reply. As the person who wrote a lot of the bproc support, I'll try to catch up on it over the next couple of days. One thing to correct right away, though. The --display-map function actually

Errr... That's not good. :-( Do you have a small example that you can share that duplicates the problem? On Jun 6, 2008, at 1:51 AM, Matt Hughes wrote: 2008/6/4 Jeff Squyres : Would it be possible for you to try a trunk nightly tarball snapshot, perchance? I have attempted to use ope

Sorry for the delay in replying. I'd check two things: - Disable all firewall support between these two machines. OMPI uses random TCP ports to communicate between processes; if they're blocked, Bad Things will happen. - It is easiest to install OMPI in the same location on all your mac

Sorry for the delay in replying to this -- mails sometimes pile up in my INBOX and I don't get to reply to them all in a timely fashion. Yes, you can expect this to be much better in the v1.3 series. If you have a few cycles, you might want to test a nightly trunk tarball snapshot in some

Yes, this does sound like the classic "assuming MPI buffering" case. Check out this magazine column that I wrote a long time ago about this topic: http://cw.squyres.com/columns/2004-08-CW-MPI-Mechanic.pdf It's #1 on the top 10 list of All-Time Favorite Evils to Avoid in Parallel. :-)

It could also have been that you didn't have exactly matching installations on both machines. Even if they were the same version, if they weren't configured / installed the same way on both machines, this could have led to problems. Also be sure that either the MPI application is compatib

Sorry for the delay in replying -- I was on vacation for a week and all the mail piled up... That is a very weird stack trace. Is the application finishing and then crashing during the shutdown? I'd be surprised if the problem is actually related to PBS (the stack trace would be quite di
