Does OMPI have shared memory capabilities (as it is mentioned in MPI-2)? How can I use them? Andrei On Sat, Sep 25, 2010 at 23:19, Andrei Fokau wrote: > Here are some more details about our problem. We use a dozen of 4-processor > nodes with 8 GB memory on each node. The code we run

[OMPI users] STDIN

2010-10-03 Thread Andrei Fokau
We have a a program which is normally (running w/o MPI) controlled by Ctrl+C and then a number of options. Is it possible to set STDIN for a command executed via mpirun? The following page describes parameter -stdin, but it seems to be not supported by OMPI's mpirun. http://w3.ualg.pt/~dubuf/calhau

[OMPI users] Shared memory

2010-09-24 Thread Andrei Fokau
We use a C-program which consumes a lot of memory per process (up to few GB), 99% of the data being the same for each process. So for us it would be quite reasonable to put that part of data in a shared memory. In the source code, the memory is allocated via malloc() function. What would it requir

[OMPI users] Running on crashing nodes

2010-09-23 Thread Andrei Fokau
Dear users, Our cluster has a number of nodes which have high probability to crash, so it happens quite often that calculations stop due to one node getting down. May be you know if it is possible to block the crashed nodes during run-time when running with OpenMPI? I am asking about principal pos
