Brock, which version are you using ? v1.10 ? v2.x ? master ? what is failing ? configure ? make ? make install ? make check ? is this issue specific to xlc/xlf ? (e.g. does it work with gcc compilers ?) Cheers, Gilles On 4/4/2016 11:28 AM, Brock Palen wrote: I recently needed to build an Ope

I recently needed to build an OpenMPI build on Power 8 where I had access to xlc / xlf The current release fails (as noted in the readme) But a clone as of April 4th from git worked, here is my (simple) configure script: COMPILERS='CC=xlc FC=xlf CXX=xlc++' ./configure \ --prefix=$PREF

Hello Gilles Thanks again for your inputs. Since that code snippet works for you, I am now fairly certain that my 'instrumentation' has broken something; sorry for troubling the whole community while I climb the learning curve. The netcat script that you mention does work correctly; that and that

your program works fine on my environment. this is typical of a firewall running on your host(s), can you double check that ? a simple way to do that is to 10.10.10.11# nc -l 1024 and on the other node echo ahah | nc 10.10.10.11 1024 the first command should print "ahah" unless the host is u

Hello Gilles Thanks for your help. My question was more of a sanity check on myself. That little program I sent looked correct to me; do you see anything wrong with it? What I am running on my setup is an instrumented OMPI stack, taken from git HEAD, in an attempt to understand how some of the i

Hi, per a previous message, can you give a try to mpirun -np 2 -hostfile ~/hostfile -mca btl self,tcp --mca pml ob1 ./mpitest if it still hangs, the issue could be OpenMPI think some subnets are reachable but they are not. for diagnostic : mpirun --mca btl_base_verbose 100 ... you can explic

Hello all I don't mean to be competing for the 'silliest question of the year award', but I can't figure this out on my own: My 'cluster' has 2 machines, bigMPI and smallMPI. They are connected via several (types of) networks and the connectivity is OK. In this setup, the following program hangs

Hi, performance of MPI_Comm_spawn in the v1.8/v1.10 series is known to be poor, especially compared to v1.6 generally speaking, I cannot recommend v1.6 since it is no more maintained. that being said, if performance is critical, you might want to give it a try. I did not run any performance meas
