Re: [OMPI users] problems with hostfile when doing MPMD

[jody]

i narrowed it down:
The majority of processes get stuck in MPI_Barrier.
My Test application looks like this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include "mpi.h"

int main(int iArgC, char *apArgV[]) {
    int iResult = 0;
    int iRank1;
    int iNum1;

    char sName[256];
    gethostname(sName, 255);

    MPI_Init(&iArgC, &apArgV);

    MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &iRank1);
    MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &iNum1);

    printf("[%s]I am #%d/%d before the barrier\n", sName, iRank1, iNum1);
    MPI_Barrier(MPI_COMM_WORLD);
    printf("[%s]I am #%d/%d after the barrier\n", sName, iRank1, iNum1);

    MPI_Finalize();

    return iResult;
}


If i make this call:
mpirun -np 3 --debug-daemons --host aim-plankton -x DISPLAY
./run_gdb.sh ./MPITest32 : -np 3 --host aim-fanta4 -x DISPLAY
./run_gdb.sh ./MPITest64

(run_gdb.sh is a script which starts gdb in a xterm for each process)
Process 0 (on aim-plankton) passes the barrier and gets stuck in PMPI_Finalize,
all other processes get stuck in PMPI_Barrier,
Process 1 (on aim-plankton) displays the message
   
[aim-plankton][0,1,1][btl_tcp_endpoint.c:572:mca_btl_tcp_endpoint_complete_connect]
connect() failed with errno=113
Process 2 on (aim-plankton) displays the same message twice.

Any ideas?

  Thanks Jody
