Hi,thanks for answering. Unfortunately, I did try that, too. The point is that i don't understand the ressource consumption. Even if the processor is yielded, it still is busy waiting, wasting system resources which could otherwise be used for actual work. Isn't there some way to activate an interrupt mechanism, so that the wait/ recv blocks the thread, e.g. puts it to sleep, until notified?Murat Tim Mattox schrieb:You should look at these two FAQ entries: http://www.open-mpi.org/ faq/?category=running#oversubscribing http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/? category=running#force-aggressive-degraded To get what you want, you need to force Open MPI to yield the processor rather than be aggressively waiting for a message.

I deactivated (at both compile- and run-time) the shared memory bt- layer, and specified "tcp, self" to be used. Still one core busy. Even on a distributed system I intend to perform work, while waiting for incoming requests. For this purpose having one core busy waiting for requests is uncomfortable to say the least. Does OpenMPI not use some blocking system call to a tcp port internally? Since i deactivated the understandably costly shared- memory waits, this seems weird to me. Someone has an explanation or even better a fix / workaround / solution ? thanks, Murat _______________________________________________ users mailing list us...@open-mpi.org http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/ listinfo.cgi/users_______________________________________________ users mailing list us...@open-mpi.org http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/users
