Turned out it was the fftw package that was not installed perfectly. I used the fftw package that came with QE as suggested and all went fine. Thanks a lot. CY From: Jeff Squyres To: Open MPI Users List-Post: users@lists.open-mpi.org Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2008 07:57:58 -0400 Subject: Re: [OMPI user

Re: [OMPI users] MPI_Type_struct for structs with dynamic arrays

2008-08-20 Thread Richard Treumann
Hi Jitendra Before you worry too much about the inefficiency of using a contiguous scratch buffer to pack into and send from and a second contiguous scratch buffer to receive into and unpack from, it would be worth knowing how OpenMPI processes a discontiguous datatype on your platform. Gatherin

George, Yes that's what I understood after struggling with it over a week. I need to send such messages frequently so creating and destroying the data type each time may be expensive. What would be the best alternative for sending such malloced data ? Though I can always pack the data in a long arr

Re: [OMPI users] MPI_Type_struct for structs with dynamic arrays

2008-08-20 Thread George Bosilca
Jitendra, You will not be able to reuse the same data-type. All internal arrays are malloced and their position in memory will be completely random from call to call (or use to use of the data-type). Therefore, even if your structure looks the same, as you use non static arrays in your st

Ralph, Thanks! I checked output of "ompi_info" and found that OpenMPI on PowerPC is not built with heterogeneous support. We will rebuild OpenMPI and then try the command you suggested. Best Regards, Mi

First, I trust that you built Open MPI to support heterogeneous operations? I'm not sure what version you are using, but it may well have done it by default. Second, there is an error on your cmd line that is causing the problem. It should read: mpirun -np 1 -host b1 foo_x86 : -np 1 -host

I have one MPI job consisting of two parts. One is "foo_x86", the other is "foo_ppc", and there is MPI communication between "foo_x86" and "foo_ppc". "foo_x86" is built on X86 box "b1", "foo_pcc" is built on PPC box "b2".Anyone can tell me how to start this MPI job? I tried "mpiru

Hello, Three things... 1) Josh, the main developer for checkpoint/restart, has been away for a few weeks and has just returned. I suspect he will get unburied from e-mail in another day or two. 2) The 1.4 (and 1.3) branch is very much under rapid development, and there will be times when basic fu

There was a bug that caused ompi-checkpoint not to find the correct place in the session directory for mpirun's contact file. This was fixed in r19265, so you should no longer have a problem. On Aug 20, 2008, at 2:11 AM, Matthias Hovestadt wrote: Hi Gabriele! In this case, mpirun works w
