Re: [OMPI users] How can I pass my user limits (stacksize, etc.) to mpirun in OpenMPI

2008-09-10 Thread Samuel Sarholz
Hi Jeff, I think setting global limits will not help in this case as the limits like stacksize need to be program specific. So far I am using wrappers, however the solution is a bit nasty. If there is another way it would be great. Hoever I doubt that there is a way as the FAQ states: More

If you need per-job settings, then a wrapper is probably your best bet. On Sep 10, 2008, at 5:08 AM, Samuel Sarholz wrote: Hi Jeff, I think setting global limits will not help in this case as the limits like stacksize need to be program specific. So far I am using wrappers, however the s

Dear all, First some background, the real question is at the end of this (longish) mail. I have a problem where I need to exchange data between all processes. The data is unevenly distributed and I thought at first I could use MPI_Alltoallv to transfer the data. However, in my case, the r

2008-09-10 Thread George Bosilca
Daniel, Your understanding of he MPI standard requirement with regard to MPI_Alltoallv is now 100% accurate. The send count and datatype should match what the receiver expect. You can always use an MPI_Alltoall before the MPI_Alltoallv to exchange the lengths that you expect. george. O

George, thanks for the quick answer! I thought about using alltoall before the alltoallv, but it "feels" like this might end up slow having two alltoall, at least doubling the latency. Might still be faster than a large bunch of sendrecvs of course. I'll simply have to do some short tests,

[OMPI users] prepend the standard output with rank of the process

2008-09-10 Thread Kamaraju Kusumanchi
When I use mpiexec from mpich2 1.05.p4, there is an option called -l. Using this option with mpiexec prepends each line of the standard output with the rank of the process. I am a big fan of this feature and it helps in debugging. Is there any such simple trick to prepend the standard output with t

This feature is tentatively scheduled on our to-do list, but it won't be included in the upcoming v1.3 series. FWIW, the v1.0 series is ancient -- the v1.2 series has had many many fixes and improvements since then. If the v1.0 series is working for you, ok, but just be aware that the v1.2
