But in many ways, it’s also not helpful to change the MTU from Open MPI. It sounds like you made a bunch of changes all at once; I’d break them down and build up. MTU is a very system-level configuration. Use a tcp transmission test (iperf, etc.) to make sure TCP connections work between the

Alberto, Are you saying the program hang even without jumbo frame (aka 1500 MTU) ? At first, make sure there is no firewall running, and then you can try mpirun --mca btl tcp,vader,self --mca oob_tcp_if_include eth0 --mca btl_tcp_if_include eth0 ... (Replace eth0 with the interface name you want

"ompi_info --param btl tcp -l 9" will give you all the TCP options. Unfortunately, OMPI does not support programatically changing the value of the MTU. George. PS: We would be happy to receive contributions from the community. On Fri, May 5, 2017 at 10:29 AM, Alberto Ortiz wrote: > I am usi

I am using version 1.10.6 on archlinux. The option I should pass to mpirun should then be "-mca btl_tcp_mtu 13000"? Just to be sure. Thank you, Alberto El 5 may. 2017 16:26, "r...@open-mpi.org" escribió: > If you are looking to use TCP packets, then you want to set the send/recv > buffer size in

If you are looking to use TCP packets, then you want to set the send/recv buffer size in the TCP btl, not the openib one, yes? Also, what version of OMPI are you using? > On May 5, 2017, at 7:16 AM, Alberto Ortiz wrote: > > Hi, > I have a program running with openMPI over a network using a gig

Hi, I have a program running with openMPI over a network using a gigabit switch. This switch supports jumbo frames up to 13.000 bytes, so, in order to test and see if it would be faster communicating with this frame lengths, I am trying to use them with my program. I have set the MTU in each node t
