Dear All,
I have just installed openmpi/mpich in ubuntu 7.10 in my linux machine which has a dual processor. I compiled my fortran program as follows: mpif90 add.f90 -o add_n I, however, forced to copy "mpif.h" library in my working directory where i run my program and also I inserted an additional line inside the file "/etc/openmpi/openmpi-mca-params.conf", the following : btl=^openib. I have then run the program as: mpirun -np 2 ./add_n (here I use 2 processor as my dual laptop has two processor) What I got is the following error message : [geosl063:13781] *** An error occurred in MPI_comm_size [geosl063:13780] *** An error occurred in MPI_comm_size [geosl063:13780] *** on communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD [geosl063:13780] *** MPI_ERR_COMM: invalid communicator [geosl063:13780] *** MPI_ERRORS_ARE_FATAL (goodbye) [geosl063:13781] *** on communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD [geosl063:13781] *** MPI_ERR_COMM: invalid communicator I used MPI commands to program my fortran code. The program has been running in a linux cluster. The point here is to develop my parallel program in my linux laptop before I go and run it in a Linux cluster. Any comments. I appreciate any comments Thank you so much Yacob ____________________________________________________________________________________ You rock.
