Hello everybody.
I'm new to MPI and I'm having some problems while runnig a simple pingpong
program in more than one node.
1.- I followed all the instructions and installed open MPI without problems
in a Beowulf cluster.
2.- Ths cluster is working OK and ssh keys are set for not password
prompting
3.- miexec seems to run OK.
4.- Now I'm using just 2 nodes: I've tried a simple ping-pong application
but my master only sends one request!!
5.- I reduced the problem by trying to send just two mesages to the same
node:
int main(int argc, char **argv){
int myrank;
/* Initialize MPI */
MPI_Init(&argc, &argv);
/* Find out my identity in the default communicator */
MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &myrank);
if (myrank == 0) {
int work = 100;
int count=0;
for (int i =0; i < 10; i++){
cout << "MASTER IS SLEEPING..." << endl;
sleep(3);
cout << "MASTER AWAKE WILL SEND["<< count++ << "]:" << work << endl;
MPI_Send(&work, 1, MPI_INT, 1, WORKTAG, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
}
} else {
int count =0;
int work;
MPI_Status status;
while (true){
MPI_Recv(&work, 1, MPI_INT, 0, MPI_ANY_TAG, MPI_COMM_WORLD,
&status);
cout << "SLAVE[" << myrank << "] RECEIVED[" << count++ << "]:" <<
work <<endl;
if (status.MPI_TAG == DIETAG) {
break;
}
}// while
}
MPI_Finalize();
6a.- RESULTS (if I put more than one machine in my mpihostsfile), my master
sends the first message and my slave receives it perfectly. But my master
doesnt send its second .
message:
Here's my output
MASTER IS SLEEPING...
MASTER AWAKE WILL SEND[0]:100
MASTER IS SLEEPING...
SLAVE[1] RECEIVED[0]:100MPI_STATUS.MPI_ERROR:0
MASTER AWAKE WILL SEND[1]:100
6b.- RESULTS (if I put ONLY 1 machine in my mpihostsfile), everything is OK
until iteration 9!!!

--------------------------------
I know this is a lot of text, but I wanted to give a mamixum detailed
question. I've been search in FAQ, but still don't know what (and why) is
going on...
Anyone can help please :-) ?
