You could confirm that it is the IPv6 loop by simply disabling IPv6 support - configure with --disable-ipv6 and see if you still get the error messages Thanks for continuing to pursue this! Ralph On Dec 16, 2009, at 8:41 PM, kevin.buck...@ecs.vuw.ac.nz wrote: >> Just to say that I built the Net

Re: [OMPI users] error performing MPI_Comm_spawn

2009-12-16 Thread Ralph Castain
Ah crumb - I found the problem. Sigh. I actually fixed this in the trunk over 5 months ago when the problem first surfaced in my own testing, but it never came across to the stable release branch. The problem is that we weren't serializing the comm_spawn requests, and so the launch system gets

It depends on how Open MPI was built. If Open MPI was built without plugins (i.e., all the plugins are slurped up into libmpi and friends), then yes, applications need to link against librdmacm to use the RDMA CM mode of OpenFabrics transport. If Open MPI was built with plugins (which is the de

It is in a later version - pretty sure it made 1.3.3. IIRC, I added it at your request :-) On Dec 16, 2009, at 7:20 AM, jody wrote: > Thanks for your reply > > That sounds good. I have Open-MPI version 1.3.2, and mpirun seems not > to recognize the --xterm option. > [jody@plankton tileopt]$ mpi

Thanks for your reply That sounds good. I have Open-MPI version 1.3.2, and mpirun seems not to recognize the --xterm option. [jody@plankton tileopt]$ mpirun --xterm -np 1 ./boss 9 sample.tlf -- mpirun was unable to launch the

Hi Ralph, I am afraid I have been a little hasty! I remake my tests with more care and I got the same error also with the 1.3.3 :-/ but in such version the error happens after some successful executions... because of that I did not realize before! Furthermore, I increased the number of levels of t

2009-12-16 Thread Ralph Castain
Depends on the version you are working with. If it includes the -xterm option, then that option gets applied to the dynamically spawned procs too, so this should be automatically taken care of...but in that case, you wouldn't need your script to open an xterm anyway. You would just do: mpirun -

Hi Until now i always wrote applications for which the number of processes was given on the command line with -np. To debug these applications i wrote a script, run_gdb.sh which basically open a xterm and starts gdb in it for my application. This allowed me to have a window for each of the processe
