[OMPI users] User Interface for MPMD

2012-08-10 Thread Frank Kampe
Are there any user level APIs to provide the following information to a running OpenMPI MPMD program: (1) Number of executable instances (2) 1st MPI Task rank of each instance (3) Number of MPI Tasks per instance Thank You

I'm actually not sure I understand the question - are you talking about a programmatic API where an application wants to spawn an MPI program? Or an inter-program communication API that wants to tell another program some information? Or an API by which the app can tell MPI "I'm going to spawn N

I have, but I haven't found any user-callable function(s) to get the info listed below in a running MPMD program. I can do this with the PMI interface for the Cray MPICH2 implementation but cannot find anything equivalent for OpenMPI. From: users-boun

No. I am looking for a user-callable function that will return information about the running OpenMPI MPMD program from within the running program---the information listed below in (1) -- (3). From: users-boun...@open-mpi.org [users-boun...@open-mpi.org]

I gather you don't want to use the MPI calls to get it? Perhaps it would help if we understood a little more about what you are trying to do. Or maybe we just aren't understanding the term "instance" - e.g., for #1, you want to know how many processes are executing in the job, yes? If that's co

OK. I think I am not being clear and am using the wrong terms. For example, suppose we launch and MPMD job: mpirun -np 1 a.out : -np 8 a.out2 : -np 512 a.out3 There are three "instances" invoked here---that's info item(1). In other words, how many executables are started. Given MPMD mode, t

I swear that there was an MPI-3 proposal for just about exactly this issue (because there is currently no MPI-standardized way to get this information). I honestly don't remember what happened to this proposal, but I know who made it (Adam Moody, from Livermore). I've just pinged him off list t

Ah, I was wrong: it wasn't Adam Moody -- it was Marc Snir's proposal. It's MPI Forum 3.0 ticket #313: https://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/ticket/313 Download the 313.pdf to see the changes for this proposal. It did pass and will be part of MPI-3.0. Basically, MPI now defines a p

...and, as I told Jeff on the phone, I already signed up to implement it for the 1.7 series :-) Should get to it next week. In the interim, you could access that data directly from the ORTE structures, but it would be a tad ugly - probably easier for me to get this implemented for you if your t
