Re: [OMPI users] Communication problem (on one node) when network interface is down

It's set by default in btl_tcp_if_exclude (because in most cases, you *do* want to exclude the loopback interface -- it's much slower than other shared memory types of scenarios). But this value can certainly be overridden: mpirun --mca btl_tcp_if_exclude '' > On Mar 11, 2016, at 11:15

Gary, The current fine tuning of our TCP layer was done on a 1Gb network, and might result in the performance degradation you see. There is a relationship between the depth of the pipeline and the length of the packets, together with another set of MCA parameters that can have a drastic impact

Hello all >From a user standpoint, that does not seem right to me. Why should one need any kind of network at all if one is entirely dealing with a single node? Is there any particular reason OpenMPI does not/cannot use the lo (loopback) interface? I'd think it is there for exactly this kind of si

Gary, I previously missed the fact you are running on a 10GbE network, and I still assumes you are not running a debug build. maybe you need to increase send/recv buffer sizes ompi_info --all | grep btl_tcp will list the parameters that can be tuned, then you can mpirun --mca btl_tcp_ Cheers,

Spawned tasks cannot use the sm nor vader btl so you need an other one (tcp, openib, ...) self btl is only to send/recvcount with oneself (e.g. it does not work for inter process and intra node communications. I am pretty sure the lo interface is always discarded by openmpi, so I have no solution

Hello, I'm having communications problem between two processes (with one being spawned by the other, on the *same* physical machine). Everything works as expected when I have network interface such as eth0 or wlo1 up, but as soon as they are down, I get errors (such as « At least one pair of MPI pr
