Re: [OMPI users] SLURM vs. Torque?

2007-10-23 Thread Berit Hinnemann
Hello Bill, I have recently set up a small AMD Opteron cluster using Torque/Maui and OpenMPI, and not being very experienced I did not find it too complicated to do, and it works fine. I do not know Slurm, so I cannot make any comparison, but I just wanted to add that getting started with Torque/

[OMPI users] 100% CPU load without sm-btl

2007-10-23 Thread Murat Knecht
Hi, Testing a distributed system locally, I couldn't help but notice that a blocking MPI_Recv causes 100% CPU load. I deactivated (at both compile- and run-time) the shared memory bt-layer, and specified "tcp, self" to be used. Still one core busy. Even on a distributed system I intend to perform w

You should look at these two FAQ entries: http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running#oversubscribing http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running#force-aggressive-degraded To get what you want, you need to force Open MPI to yield the processor rather than be aggressively waiting for a message

2007-10-23 Thread Murat Knecht
Hi, thanks for answering. Unfortunately, I did try that, too. The point is that i don't understand the ressource consumption. Even if the processor is yielded, it still is busy waiting, wasting system resources which could otherwise be used for actual work. Isn't there some way to activate an inter

Re: [OMPI users] 100% CPU load without sm-btl

2007-10-23 Thread George Bosilca
Currently there is no work around this issue. We consider(ed) that when you run an MPI job the cluster is in dedicated mode, so a 100% CPU consumption is acceptable. However, as we discussed at our last meeting, there are others reasons to be able to yield the CPU until a message arrives. T

Good to know that I'm not just not finding the solution, there simply is none. The system is actually dedicated to the job. But the process may, while working, receive a signal that alters the ongoing job. Like for example a terminate signal or more data to be taken into consideration. That's why I

Thanks for the answer. I have been using LAM MPI. I'm using FDS (Fire Dynamic Simulator) and in my model I have 7 threads and want to tie them to two cores which means I don't want the 7 threads to use all four cores on the cluster that we have. Have you done some thing similar to this? Thanks, S

I assumed you meant processes on a host, but I noticed that you wrote "cores". I'm not sure what the answer is if you really meant cores. I run different number of processes per "node" using mpirun -hostfile=hosts , where hosts file contains: host0 slots=5 host1 slots=5 host2 slots=5 host
