[OMPI users] openMPI 3.1x PBS/Torque

2018-03-20 Thread Tobias Kloeffel
Dear all, recently I tryied to switch from openMPI 2.1.x to openMPI 3.1.x. I try to run a openMP/MPI hybrid program and prior to openMPI 3.1 I used --bind-to core --map-by slot:PE=4 and requested full nodes via PBS or Slurm (:ppn=16; --cpus-per-task=1, --tasks-per-node=16) With openMPI 3.1, ho

Hi Brice, Thank you for your response. Yes, possibly hardwiring everything would be easier. I was thinking I could use OpenMPI for the signaling between the cores on an OS that doesn't support multi-processing, using the shmem approach. The executable is the same for each CPU image, but the

Hi John, Thank you for your advice. But this is only related to its functionality, and right now my problem is it cannot compile with new version openmpi. The reason may come from its patch file since it needs to intercept MPI calls to profile some data. New version openmpi may change its framework

Hello I am available for off-line discussion for the hwloc side of things. But things look complicated here from your summary below. I guess there's no need for binding on such a system. And topology is quite simple, so it might be easier to hardwire everything. Brice Le 20/03/2018 à 08:36, Ti

"It does not handle more recent improvements such as Intel's turbo mode and the processor performance inhomogeneity that comes with it." I guess it is easy enough to disable Turbo mode in the BIOS though. On 20 March 2018 at 17:48, Kaiming Ouyang wrote: > I think the problem it has is it only

[OMPI users] OpenMPI slow with Infiniband

2018-03-20 Thread Supun Kamburugamuve
Hi, I'm trying to run a small benchmark with Infiniband and Ethernet to see the difference. I get strange results where OpenMPI seems to be slower with Infiniband than Ethernet. I'm using the 3.0.0 version. Using the following parameters to enable Ethernet. --mca btl ^openib --mca btl_tcp_if_inc

I think the problem it has is it only deal with the old framework because it will intercept MPI calls and do some profiling. Here is the library: https://github.com/LLNL/Adagio I checked the openmpi changelog. From openmpi 1.3, it began to switch to a new framework, and openmpi 1.4+ has different

Hello Everyone, I'm inquiring to find someone that can answer some multi-part questions about hwloc, OpenMPI and an alternative OS and toolchain. I have a project as part of my PhD work, and it's not a simple, one-part question. For brevity, I am omitting details about the OS and toolchain, othe
