Re: [OMPI users] Checkpointing fails with BLCR 0.8.0b2

2008-12-10 Thread Josh Hursey
This issue has been addressed in the Open MPI trunk with r20114. This fix will be moved to the v1.3 branch in the next few days and will be in the eventual v1.3.0 release. Thanks again for the heads up on this issue. Cheers, Josh On Dec 4, 2008, at 7:50 AM, Josh Hursey wrote: Matthias, T

[OMPI users] Onesided + derived datatypes

2008-12-10 Thread doriankrause
Hi List, I have a MPI program which uses one sided communication with derived datatypes (MPI_Type_create_indexed_block). I developed the code with MPICH2 and unfortunately didn't thought about trying it out with OpenMPI. Now that I'm "porting" the Application to OpenMPI I'm facing some problems.

FWIW, the README describes some of the Fortran issues: - Open MPI will build bindings suitable for all common forms of Fortran 77 compiler symbol mangling on platforms that support it (e.g., Linux). On platforms that do not support weak symbols (e.g., OS X), Open MPI will build Fortran 77

Bernard, Could you give us more details on the version of Open MPI you are using ? I suppose from your message this is one of the 1.2 series, but mode details would be greatly helpful. An utility called orte-clean can be used to try to remove all the garbage left, should something go wron

Re: [OMPI users] Multicast?

2008-12-10 Thread George Bosilca
Brock, Open MPI has a very fancy collective implementation. While we don't use multicast, we dynamically change the algorithm used for the collective based on the number of nodes, the size and type of the message, and eventually the operation involved if any. Moreover, we detect hierarchi

Currently, the only way is to name your environment variable OMPI_MCA_; mpirun will automatically scoop all of those up and send them along. It wouldn't be *terribly* difficult to add other mechanisms for sending along environment variables, though. What do you need / want to do? On D
