[OMPI users] Shared Memory Problem.

2011-03-26 Thread Michele Marena
Hi, I've a problem with shared memory. When my application runs using pure message passing (one process for node), it terminates and returns correct results. When 2 processes share a node and use shared memory for exchanges messages, my application don't terminate. At shell I write "mpirun -nolocal

Hi, My application performs good without shared memory utilization, but with shared memory I get performance worst than without of it. Do I make a mistake? Don't I pay attention to something? I know OpenMPI uses /tmp directory to allocate shared memory and it is in the local filesystem. I thank yo
