[OMPI users] Processes stuck after MPI_Waitall() in 1.4.1

Hi, All, A couple of applications that I'm using -- VASP and Charmm -- end up "stuck" (for lack of a better word) during a waitall call after some non-blocking send/recv action. This only happens when utilizing the openib btl. I've followed a couple of bugs where this seemed to happen in some pr

Depending on the datatype and its order in memory, the "Block,*" and "*,Block" (which we used to call "slabs" in 3D) may be implemented by a simple scatter/gather call in MPI. The "Block,Block" distribution is a little more complex, but if you take advantage of MPI's derived datatypes, you may

Hey Bill, I took a look at the documentation for MPI_Scatter(), but I noticed that you need buffers to use it. My supervisor wasn't really happy with using buffers, and for that reason the code that I am writing is only using blocking routines, which will make my life a tad bit harder due to the f

The MPI Standard (in my opinion) should have avoided the word "buffer". To me, a "buffer" is something you set aside as scratch space between the application data structures and the communication calls. In MPI, the communication is done directly from/to the application's data structures and th

Hi Jed, Thanks for the reply and suggestion. I tried adding -mca yield_when_idle 1 (and later mpi_yield_when_idle 1 which is what ompi_info reports the variable as) but it seems to have had 0 effect. My master goes into fftw planning routines for a minute or so (I see the threads being created),
