Hi, I was wondering if there is any way to reduce the cpu usage the openmpi seems to spend in the busy wait loop. Thanks, /David On Thu, Feb 28, 2013 at 4:34 PM, Bokassa wrote: > Hi, >I notice that a simple MPI program in which rank 0 sends 4 bytes to > each rank and receive

Thanks Ralph, you were right I was not aware of --kill-on-bad-exit and KillOnBadExit, setting it to 1 shuts down the entire MPI job when MPI_Abort() is called. I was thinking this MPI protocol message was just transported by slurm and then each task would exit. Oh well I should not guess the implem
